Day 24: A Book That I Wish More People Would’ve Read

A lot of people have read this, I know (especially thanks to the Children's Literature course last semester), but for the large part, many people remain unaware of this little treasure of Sue Townsend's. 

I first read this when I was about 13 years old, and since then, have returned to it many times, to find the humour just as fresh and intoxicating as it always was. This book has the right mix of hilarity, pathos, and drama, it's a gem that I recommend very highly - and it's the only book (apart from Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster) which can make me laugh out loud!
