British teenager, Adrian Mole is 14 years old and keeps a secret diary. He writes about his problems in it - and there are a lot of them!
His mother has left the house with Mr Lucas, the neighbour. His father has gone to pieces and has no money. His girlfriend, Pandora, thinks they´re getting too serious and wants a break, and the spot on Adrian´s chin is getting bigger and bigger!
Adrian has good intentions and tries to solve everybody´s problems, but somehow things don´t always work out the way he wants them to.
Can things get any worse?
