There are two consolations: He has a son who fears gym class (poor little bird legs!), and he’s readying his serial-killer comedy for production. But really, there’s little about the twenty-first century that makes Adrian feel secure.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Adrian Mole’s continuing chronicle of angst has sold more than twenty million copies worldwide, and been adapted for television and staged as a musical—truly “a phenomenon” (\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e).","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108529422576,"sku":"9781504048842","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781504048842_p0.jpg?v=1769897674","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781504048842","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
