The author of Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging has sadly died

British author Louise Rennison has sadly passed away, her publisher revealed last night.

The author is famous for writing the series of books about the life and times of Georgia Nicolson.

Her book Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging landed her in the big time when it was made into a movie. It was renamed as Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging as to not outrage American audiences.

The movie also started off the careers of Aaron Johnson and QI's Alan Davis.

In a statement Harper Lee Collins said: "Nobody wrote for teenagers like she did, she understood them, their lives and their extraordinary and powerful friendships."
