Withering Tights
by Louise Rennison
First in the Misadventures of Tallulah Casey!
Tallulah has had glamorous, outrageous day dreams about her first kiss or “snog” as she calls it. However, she hadn’t prepared for it to feel like a tiny bat was bumping around inside of her mouth. “Was that his tongue!?!?” That wasn’t part of her daydream!
What if all of your wildest dreams came true? Tallulah is certain she’s on the right track. She’s going to find her inner artist, make a wildly posh new set of friends, and leave behind her old, gangly self and become the desire of all of the boys in Yorshire Dales! And it’s all going to start with a summer performing arts program. Of course, everything isn’t going as planned. How will Tallulah make it all work out?

Praise for Withering Tights!
“I don’t know how, but Louise Rennison has done it again. Tallulah is even funnier, warmer, and sweeter than her cousin Georgia Nicolson. I fell in love with Withering Tights, and you will too!” (Meg Cabot, author of The Princess Diaries and Abandon series)
“Louise Rennison has created another superbly realistic and hilarious young teen heroine, a younger Georgia Nicolson, in the first book of a new series. Tallulah’s wry comments on her life and her dreams are sure to enchant girl readers who will laugh and cry with the spunky, hopeful entertainer.” (Voice of Youth Advocates)
“Tallulah is a vivacious and hilarious character who will speak to every girl. This is a wonderful start to a new series that will attract Georgia’s many fans as well as bring in new readers, who will fall in love with Tallulah and all of her quirks.” (School Library Journal )
“Fans of Georgia Nicolson will be thrilled to meet her cousin Tallulah in Printz Honor-winner Rennison’s new madcap melodrama. Undeniably entertaining; Georgia would be pleased.” (Kirkus )

“Tallulah is an effervescent protagonist who will keep fans of YA Brit lit laughing until the very end.” (Publishers Weekly )
“A bright, breezy, and very funny take on life. Good fun!” (Booklist )
