A review by nicklawrence83
The Chronicles of Narmo by Caitlin Moran
3.0
Morag is bored...and doesn't want to return to school after the Chirstmas holidays to be surrounded by "thirty-one potential chicken pluckers". After a brief conversation about totalitarian authoritariansim, her mother decides to home school all the children. A year of insanity ensues!
For me, Moran's writing style is reminiscent of Terry Pratchett. She is able to capture the chaos of a family as they navigate a year of visiting educational inspectors, missing Easter Eggs, family holidays and a father who refuses to get rid of his broken down car.
