Fifteen-year-old Morag Narmo really doesn't want to go to school any more. She and her siblings would rather feed their heads into the waste-disposal unit than "do the academical". So they are all stunned when their parents whisk them out of school and embark on a home-schooling experiment. But with five children, two unruly pets and some extremely eccentric attitudes, the educational experiment soon descends into chaos...
Witty, razor-sharp and laugh-out-loud funny,The Chronicles of Narmoshow us how before Caitlin Moran knewHow to be a Woman, she had to find out How to be a Girl.
