Publisher's Summary

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the first publication of Sue Townsend's Adrian Mole, Penguin Audiobooks are re-releasing the audiobook edition of The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 in downloadable audio. This classic of comic fiction is hilariously read by Stephen Mangan, who played Adrian Mole in the The Cappuccino Years and also starred in The Green Wing as the hapless Guy Secretan.

Friday January 2nd: I felt rotten today. It's my mother's fault for singing 'My Way' at two o'clock in the morning at the top of the stairs. Just my luck to have a mother like her. There is a chance my parents could be alcoholics. Next year I could be in a children's home.

Meet Adrian Mole, a hapless teenager providing an unabashed, pimples-and-all glimpse into adolescent life. Writing candidly about his parents' marital troubles, the dog, his life as a tortured poet and 'misunderstood intellectual', Adrian's painfully honest diary is still hilarious and compelling reading 30 years after it first appeared.

What the critics say

"One of literature's most endearing figures. Mole is an excellent guide for all of us." ( Observer)
"Marvellous, touching and screamingly funny . . . set to become as much a cult book as The Catcher in the Rye." (Jilly Cooper)
"A satire of our times. Very funny indeed." ( Sunday Times)

Adrian Mole, 25 years later with my 12 year old

I loved the Adrian Mole series when I read it the first time in my late twenties. Now reading it with my 12 year-old son has been a complete joy! We laugh, it opens the doors to talking about "teenage stuff" which is helpful when you're a single Mom raising a boy. The narrator is so funny and totally "gets Adrian", embodies him actually. Well done!
