Teen Girls Will Love It!

I have read all of the Angelica Cookson Potts books and love them! She is so funny and witty! A must read for any teen girl.

Hilarious Chick Lit for Teens

Potty has decided to drag dear, plus-sized, and overly-confident Angel out of school a week early, simply to drag her, Mother, and Flossie off to Scotland for their annual Easter vacation. However, what is simply worse than the dreary Scottish weather, and the men in kilts, is the fact that lovely Mercedes, one of Angel's very best friends in the entire world, is moving to Florida with her ultra-glammy parents, and she may not be coming back. If only that were the only thing Angel had to worry about, but no...there's more. Potty is now on the warpath, protesting the haggis that Harrod's sells, and now Angel's entire family has been banned from the posh store, which means no more ultra-chic undergarments, and fabbity-fab-fab groceries for the many treats Angel loves to whip up. If that weren't bad enough, Angel keeps dreaming about slimeball Sydney. BLECH!! I never thought that Cherry Whytock would be able to top the first book of Angel's hilarious misadventures MY CUP RUNNETH OVER, but with MY SCRUMPTIOUS SCOTTISH DUMPLINGS, she has done just that. Angel is as sweet as pie, and couldn't be more thrilling to read about. While her wonderfully crazy parents are hilarious, and keep creating strange situations to keep the readers laughing out loud for hours. If you're looking for a hilarious teen literature book, you MUST read MY SCRUMPTIOUS SCOTTISH DUMPLINGS, as it cannot be missed. Erika Sorocco Book Review Columnist for The Community Bugle Newspaper
