Книга: Withering Tights (Rennison Loise); Harpercollins, 2024

Winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize 2010 - The first book in the hilarious series from the original Queen of Teen. You'll laugh your tights off . . .

Picture the scene: Dother Hall Performing Arts College ,somewhere Up North, surrounded by rolling dales, bearded cheesemaking villagers (male and female) and wildlife of the squirrely-type.

On the whole, it's not quite the showbiz experience Tallulah was expecting… but once her mates turn -p and they start their 'FAME! I'm gonna liiiiive foreeeeeever, I'm gonna fill my tiiiiights' summer course things are bound to perk up. Especially when the boys arrive. (When DO the boys arrive?)

Six weeks of parent-free freedom. BOY freedom. Freedom of expression… cos it's the THEATRE dahling, theatre!

The hilarious misadventures of Tallulah Casey…
