<div dir="ltr">I love reading funny teen books! It's a refreshing break from all the angst. I can add a few other titles to those MacKenzie suggested. Although it is a bit old now, I found <u>There is no Dog</u> (2012) by Meg Rosoff to be totally side-splittingly, milk-snortingly, irreverently funny. I am currently reading <u>We are All Made of Molecules</u> (2015) by Susin Nielsen, and the two main characters are pretty comical. Off the top of my head, a few other funny teen books I have read in the last couple of years are <u>The Awesome</u> (2015) by Eva Darrows, <u>OCD, the Dude, and Me</u> (2013) by Lauren Roedy Vaughn, <u>Nimona</u> (2015) by Noelle Stevenson, <u>Supermutant Magic Academy</u> (2015) by Jillian Tamaki, <u>Princeless</u> (2014--15) by Jeremy Whitley. and <u>Hold me Closer: the Tiny Cooper Story</u> (2015) by David Levithan. Although technically not YA, <u>Year Zero</u> (2012) by Rob Reid works as a teen read and it's a hoot! <div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>Lorene Forman</div><div>Jefferson County Library Youth Services Specialist</div><div>541-475-3351, ext 2</div><div><br><div style="overflow:hidden;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-align:left;border:medium none"><font color="#38761d" face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif"><a title="view quote" href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/w/willrogers386200.html" target="_blank"></a></font>“Comics are a gateway drug to literacy.”

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I need your help! I'm updating my humor booklist and it seems like there has been a dearth of humor books published in the last couple of years. Have you read anything funny, side-splitting, or milk-snorting for teens? Please share titles!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Aimee</div>
