Sic transit snogging

Louis Rennison, author of The Confessions of Georgia Nicolson series, has died. What a great pity. Her books have been enormously popular in the reading room: roaringly funny, in a Brit slang that sounds transgressive in Sixth Grade. Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging: that's a title to hide from parents. Ah Sixth Grade: one long treasure-hunt for hints of transgression.
