Product Description

Product Description

For now, Shiraz is stuck on an estate in Goodmayes, Essex, with her sister Cava-Sue, her nightmare mum Diane and her loved-up mate Carrie. Hoodies, hip-hop and hanging about outside Claire's Accessories. Taking her flatulent Staffy for a walk. Lusting after local lad Wesley Barrington Baines II. It's a limited world for this loveable Essex dreamer. But when new English Teacher Miss Brackett arrives at Mayflower Academy, Shiraz is made to see there's more to life than getting excluded, suped up Vauxhall Novas and Chicago Town pizza. It's time Shiraz began thinking what she wants to do with life. And what sort of person she wants to be. A lot of snooty folk call Shiraz Bailey Wood a chav. Well if by 'Chav' you mean 'Charming, Hilarious, Articulate and Vibrant', Shizza doesn't mind that at all. Call her what you want. She don't care. She's keeping it real.



About the Author

With THREE bestselling novels in the past 12 months, Grace Dent is undeniably one of the hottest names in teen fiction right now. THE IBIZA DIARIES, the fourth of her novels about the loveable Shiraz BW is released on June 19th 2008 and is set to be one of the most vital, hilarious reads for Summer 2008. Put simply: right now, no other author nails how young people REALLY speak and behave like Grace Dent. It’s reached the point where SBW fans refuse to believe that the vivid Essex sensation is a fictional character! Messages and pleas for advice for Shiraz, Cava-Sue and the gang pour in day and night via Bebo and Myspace, MSN! Grace says: ‘I’ve cajoled kids who claim to have never read anything longer than a text message into reading three entire novels and nagging for the fourth. This makes me insanely proud.’
Grace is a comedy writer and broadcaster specialising in all aspects of ‘Pop Culture’. She is a presenter on The Culture Show on BBC2 and has recently interviewed Mitchell and Webb and the cast of Gavin and Stacey. She lives in East London with her husband, who works in the music industry. When she's not writing comedy Grace is to be found 'faffing about on the internet' or 'faffing about in the garden or kitchen' or 'just 'faffing about generally. I'm an excellent faffer.'

5.0 out of 5 stars OMG!! This is my favourite book of the year so far. It is really hilarious! , 7 Jul 2007
I got this to take on my holiday, but once it arrived I couldn't stop reading it! I think I laughed at every single page. I hope this diary makes people think about names like 'chav' and 'emo' because Shiraz Bailey Wood proves that everyone is different and you totally can't judge people just on how they look.

I loved the end so much. I was laughing so much my dad banged on my bedroom door and told me to be quiet! I want Book 2 now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, 31 Aug 2007
This book is so hilarious.
It's about Shiraz Bailey Wood who is a 'chav' and all about her crazy family and her life as a teenage girl.
I would reccomend this book to all girls aged 12 - 15.

5.0 out of 5 stars my review on diary of a chav, 25 April 2009
A Kid's Review
Dairy of a chav trainers vs tiaras is the best book i ever read in the whole world.The genre of the book which is probably comedy at least i think it is really fit my personality as it might also do others.
When i read the blurb while in 'waterstones'i was destined to by the book myself it was amazing it blew me away as i was completley obsorbed by it.It is a utter page turner you'll never be able to put the book down absaloutly satasfiying 5 stars BUY THE BOOK A.S.A.P

Teen diaries will inevitably attract comparisons to the Adrian Mole series, but this one stands nicely on its own merits. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars FAB!
I'm not a big lover of chavs but I thought this book was amazing. It really showed me that chavs can be nice, polite, clever people and aren't all rude-mouthed ASBOs.
