FROM THE CRITICS Publishers Weekly Just when readers thought Georgia Nicolson had told all, she's back, with Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers: More Mad, Marvy Confessions of Georgia Nicolson by Louise Rennison. For Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging, the book that started it all, PW wrote in a starred review, "Rennison exquisitely captures the fine art of the adolescent ability to turn chaos into stand-up comedy." And teens will be delighted to discover that her talents simply sharpen with time. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

What person has these characteristics: crazed, fun-loving, honest, funny, obsessed, dramatic, and overzealous? Meet Georgia Nicolson your typical teenager. She is obsessed with traveling to Hamburger-a-gogo-land because she is in luuuuurve (love). First, she must convince her parents to permit her best friend Jas to go with her. Then she must figure out where Masimo, her "love god" is. Traveling to Memphis, she has to figure out how to get to Manhattan. Let down and broken-hearted, Georgia returns without Masimo. Masimo returns to Wet Lindsay, and Georgia's saga continues. How will she get Masimo to like her? In the minute-to-minute revelations of Georgia's ramblings and her life, readers are left with a diary-like account of her life. The story is real. The story is funny. The story is her voice. The sixth title in the series, many main characters are back for another round. There is also an index of terms for readers new to the series. As an added feature, the is an included CD. 2005, Harpertempest/Harper Collins, Ages 12 up. School Library Journal Gr 7-9-Georgia Nicolson's life is full of drama and trauma, and no one seems to understand-not Mutti, not Vati, not her best friend, Jas. Georgia's family is off for the uncharted reaches of Hamburger-a-gogo-land, and she is sure she will see her crush, Masimo, there. Her family will be visiting Memphis, but surely Manhattan isn't far? And it shouldn't be difficult to track down a family called Scarlotti in Manhattan, right? When the Nicholsons return home, Masimo unseen, Georgia is sad. She is truly heartbroken, however, when he comes back and seems more interested in Wet Lindsay than in Georgia herself. This is not a stand-alone title; some of the situations are better understood by knowing the vast and storied history that is Georgia's life-her hatred for Wet Lindsay, for example, and her past with the former Sex God, Robbie. Favorite characters are back, including Dave the Laugh, Mad Libby, and Angus. Georgia and Company share a common language full of made-up words and some British slang (there's a glossary in the back full of helpfulosity). While the situations and plot are not unique, Georgia's voice is. Fans will clamor for more and be happy to hear that the open ending leaves a sequel quite likely.-Sarah Couri, New York Public Library Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
