Adrian Mole goes on holiday with his parents to Skegness and makes an unwelcome discovery. Read by Harry McEntire. Sue Townsend is one of our most celebrated comic writers. 'The Growing Pains' is the second book serialised in her exquisitely funny Adrian Mole series Omnibus of five episodes abridged by Sara Davies. Adrian's parents are back together. As the summer holidays begin, Adrian is still troubled by his spotty skin, but he continues to feel that his intellectual prowess sets him apart from his peers. His aspirations for poetic fame and fortune are undimmed. Whilst his mother heads off with her women's group to Greenham Common, Adrian's own interest in politics starts to grow, alongside his dislike for Margaret Thatcher. As his parents struggle to make ends meet and to sort out their differences, Adrian enjoys a more settled relationship with Pandora but is eager to move things on a stage further.
