The latest book to be turned into a movie is Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison.  If you haven’t read it, this is the hilarious story of a 14 year old British girl named Georgia who has some crazy stuff going on in her life.  She has an insane cat that is big enough to eat a poodle, a little sister that smells a bit “hamsterish,” and parents that are clueless about everything she does.  It’s written in diary-style, so the reader really gets to know and love Georgia.

The book has so many funny and weird scenes; it should translate into a movie really well. I can’t wait to see the part with Georgia dressed up as an olive for the party!  What parts of the book are you excited to see in the movie?

 Gurinder Chadha, the director of Bend It like Beckham and Bride and Prejudice, is directing this movie and the cast looks pretty good to me.  Click on the picture for an article about the cast.  Georgia is the second one on the left.  If you’ve read the book, is that how you pictured her?
