The madolescents - Chrissie Glazebrook

The Madolescents has the regional character of a Roddy Doyle novel, the farcical teenage descriptions of Sue Townsend, and the dark humour of Shallow Grave . Rowena is sixteen and works at a funeral parlour, making up the corpses (she didn't qualify to be a beautician).She's a typically out-of-control teenager, stealing nail polish from the local boutiques and living on a diet of Bailey's and chips. But when her thoughts and exploits become increasingly unusual, she finds herself in group therapy with five other troubled teenagers.For better or for worse, the Madolescents are formed.
