      Obiettivo 1 di Ronne, Claude e Fleur: Non perdersi l'imperdibile evento rock dell'estate! In caso di mancato raggiungimento... Obiettivo 2: Contenere la furia distruttiva nei confronti dei genitori che non hanno compreso l'importanza vitale dell'obiettivo 1. Obiettivo 3: Convincere il preside a farci organizzare un concerto a scuola. Obiettivo 4: Comportarsi con distacco professionale durante le audizioni (cioè non lasciare che la capacità critica si dia alla fuga davanti a un ragazzo carino ma privo di talento). Obiettivo 5: Non permettere che il cuore si riduca a un chewing-gum masticato per i capricci di una star...

      From an early age, Grace Dent was hungry. As a little girl growing up in Currock, Carlisle, she yearned to be something bigger, to go somewhere better. Hungry traces her story from growing up eating beige food to becoming one of Britain's best-loved food writers. It's also everyone's story - from cheese and pineapple hedgehogs and treats with your nan, to the exquisite joy of a chip butty covered in vinegar and too much salt in the school canteen on a grey day. And the Cadbury's Fruit & Nut from a hospital vending machine that tells a loved one you really care. Grace's snapshot of how we have lived, laughed and eaten over the past 40 years reveals the central role food plays in either bringing us together or driving us apart - from toasting a large glass of warm Merlot to grimly polishing off a wilted salad. Heartfelt, witty and joyous, Hungry shows us what we've always known to be true. Food, friends and family are the indispensable ingredients of a life well lived

    • Sie nennen sich LBD - Las Bambinas Divinas und lieben alles, was göttlich schön, aber leider verboten ist. So zum Beispiel das Musikfestival in Astlebury. Die Eltern rufen geschlossen Nein!, aber Ronnie, Claude und Fleur lassen sich davon nicht abschrecken und entwickeln über Nacht einen Plan für den ultimativen Sommer-Gig an ihrer Schule. Doch Vorsicht: Die eitle Panama droht nicht nur die Bühne zu erobern, sondern den hinreißenden Gitarristen Jimi Steele gleich mit.

      It's exactly one year after the legendary Blackwell Live and the irrepressible dangerous bambinos, Ronnie, Claude and Fleur are now fifteen. Beware of the things you wish for, ladies, you might just get them. In Ronnie's case, it's the gorgeous Jimi Steele, who, despite being the most beautiful boyfriend in the world, has also shaped up to be a prize flaky buttmunch. When Jimi manages to ruin the LBD's big night out, the girls need to reconsider what it means to be a dangerous bambino. It does NOT mean mooching about the Fantastic Voyage waiting for a call, or putting your mates before a boy, it means taking control. And super minx Fleur Swan decides that a trip to Astlebury Festival is the best way to do it. This time, the LBD are determined to go. All they need is tickets (sold out), permission to go (no chance) and a lift (oh-huh). Oh dear
