Louise Rennison

Louise Rennison (1951-2016) was a British author of young adult novels. She wrote the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson series. Louise was also a comedian, who had live shows including “Stevie Wonder Felt My Face,” “Bob Marley’s Gardener Sold My Friend” and “Never Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head.” Her novels were always well-recieved, but she would get blowback from both teachers and parents due to content. When visiting schools, the students would enjoy her appearances, but she would get complaints from staff based on the topics she discussed. She would seldom apologize.
