Will Ian get the scrumptious Suzie? Will demented Natasha drown him in Syd Pocky’s toilet bowl? Is Ian really an emu whisperer ? Another laugh out loud young adult comedy novel from Linda Aronson. 'Plain Rude is a crackerjack read. Along with humour and vivid characterisation, Aronson's understanding of the insecurities of young people is one of the best aspects of her writing' The Age (Australia) 'Hilarious' Collins Book Chain (recommended Christmas choice) ‘I’m a huge fan of Linda Aronson, whose Kelp is one of the funniest books ever. Aronson is mistress of the spiralling frenetic climax. But there is a quieter message at the heart of the story. Mary Hoffman Armadillo (UK) 'Many adolescents have found that while the world doesn't understand them, some authors do. Linda Aronson is one of those authors. Aronson uses humour to explore without ever belittling the concerns of young adults' Daily Telegraph (Australia) 'This wacky and very funny tale is a great Christmas present for 8-12 years olds and will keep even the parents entertained!'
