Genre:
Picture the scene: the very eccentric Dother Hall performing arts college in the wilds of the Yorkshire Dales, surrounded by bearded cheesemaking villagers (male and female) and wildlife of the squirrely-type.
On the whole, it′s not quite the showbiz experience Tallulah was expecting... but once her mates turn up and they start their ′FAME! I′m gonna liiiiive foreeeeeever, I′m gonna fill my tiiiiights′ summer course things are bound to perk up.
Especially when the boys arrive. (When DO the boys arrive?)
A six-week summer course = six weeks of parent-free freedom.
BOY freedom.
Freedom of expression...
cos it′s the THEATRE dahling, theatre!!

For me this is one of the funniest books I have ever read. I have read the book many times and have recently read the second book.

The novel Withering Tights by Louise Rennsison first published in 2010 the story of 14year old Tallulah Casey’s summer. She goes to summer school at Dother Hall, a school in Yorkshire for the Arts. Tallulah faces the challenges of growing up, and dealing with self doubt. Her knees are one of biggest insecurity not to mention she doesn’t usually get much boy attention. I personally love this story and love the Yorkshire slang throughout this book. The plot was very interesting with some confusing twists and turns. The book was highly entertaining and easy to relate to. I recommend this book to any teen to find out about the amateur dramatic antics of Talullah and her bonkers mates. Boys, snogging and bad acting. I hope tha’ enjoy.
