Teenage Adrian Mole navigates family chaos in 1980s Britain as his reunited parents plan for a new baby, only to face unexpected complications from his father's past relationship.
Against the backdrop of the early 1980s working-class under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, 13¾-year-old Adrian Mole is a hapless, self-proclaimed intellectual and tortured poet, dealing with adolescent angst, pimples, unrequited affections for a classmate named Pandora, his parents' messy marital troubles and eventual separation, and sharp social satire.
