Best teen funny fiction books according to redditors

http://www.amazon.com/Abundance-Katherines-John-Green/dp/0525476881

read this novel.

The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents should be great for her: http://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Maurice-Educated-Rodents-Discworld/dp/0060012358

The most obvious title that springs to mind would be The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents.

Or how about Bill The Galactic Hero? This one seems more relevant now than when it was written.

You were a huge Paula Danzinger reader :)

This one is The Pistachio Prescription

http://www.amazon.com/The-Pistachio-Prescription-Paula-Danziger/dp/0698116909

Pretty sure its from this:

http://www.amazon.com/Paradox-Vertical-Flight-Emil-Ostrovski/dp/0062238523

It's probably The Paradox of Vertical Flight by Emil Ostrovski

>On the morning of his eighteenth birthday, Jack Polovsky kidnaps his own baby, names him Socrates, stocks up on baby supplies at Walmart, and hits the road with his best friend, Tommy, and with the baby's mother, Jess. As they head to Grandma's house (eluding the police at every turn), Jack tells baby Socrates the Greek myths—because all stories spring from those stories, really. Even this one. By turns funny, heart wrenching, and wholly original, this debut novel by Emil Ostrovski explores the nature of family, love, friendship, fatherhood, and myth.

Buy "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4".

Awesome book! British author.

These were free when I got them, and they were wonderful!

I seriously cried just reading the description of Opposite of Always. I don't know if it'll really hit me now, but I would have crawled over broken glass to read a book like this when I was a teenager.

It's not exact but is similar.

Yes it is.

The Adventures of the Blue Avenger? In the sequel he does go to Europe.

Try The Big Splash by Jack D. Ferraiolo

It's an incredibly entertaining noir mystery set in middle-school. Very accessible, very funny.

Or anything by Gordon Korman. He is like THE writer for 14 year old boys (or 29 year old girls, actually). Words can't express how much I love Gordon Korman.

Also this collection of novels by Daniel Pinkwater. Incredibly funny and interesting.

Magoch is a dialogue-heavy fantasy filled with comedic moments and some subtle Meta humor, making fun of certain tropes.

Our protagonist, Ezreth, a mage that's a long away from home, stands out like a sore thumb in the populous city of Kale and on his journey, he pairs with a stressed out retail associate who is itching to learn about him and the magic he does. Follow as what Ezreth does drastically affects the boring, stress-filled lives of a few other city-dwelling citizens and everything around them within a 2 day span.

Well, much of the subtle satire might go other their heads.

Sadly I haven't read all the books myself yet :( Of what I have read, general content wise, I would say you could read them to your kids. Whether or not they will like them I can't really say as it's geared to more of an adult audience :p

Pratchett did write 4 young adult novels that they may like better. The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents being the first.

Here is kind of a map for how to read the books. Though I'm pretty sure this one is already out-dated :p since there are more books than are listed on here. I am sure there are other better ones.

Peaches! After a rat in The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett. A must read. :)

I - and I genuinely believe that most of reddit will as well - prefer An Abundance of Katherines.


Edited for grammar.

Neverwhere. Nine times.

First and only book I started re-reading immediately after finishing it.

Also Pratchett's 'The Amazing Maurice...', which I sort of love :]

How about Several huge litters of puppies all at the same time? Three large dogs all have 12 pups each. They are tasked with taking them somewhere else to find homes for them, because that little town can't handle that many dogs, and certainly not large ones like mastiffs or great danes. This gives a little traditional road action, an inn to stay in on the way, etc.

This is a 'childrens book' that's so well written it's enjoyable for an adult to read too)

I'm forgetting the name of the street dog who shows up in all his books that take place in Anhk-Morpork, that can speak human because he spent too much time sleeping on the roof of Unseen University. That one is a fun one too

Super Awkward by Beth Garrod - £1.99. UKYA funny contemporary, an absolute favourite of mine which made me laugh on pretty much every page. Don't miss it!

Carl Hiassen Kindle book!

The fast-food reference reminds me of Hold Me Closer, Necromancer.

Youth in Revolt is an excellent, laugh-out-loud book that I loved when I first read it many years ago. I must mention, however, that many people consider it to be an inferior regurgitation of the older British Adrian Mole series.

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4 is another one of those books on the cusp between MG and YA...

And published in 1982 - before either distinction was really a thing.

Hi, Doug. Thanks for the reply.

That's a shame that 1700 is so low. Poking around reddit KDP result posts, it seemed like a pretty decent number for a no-name nobody with no fans.

5-10% conversion rate is about what I thought. Still, that would give me, what, 100 people that might buy the complete collection? That's a pretty huge step from where I am now.

I had the individual stories priced at 99¢ for a while. Bumping them to $2.99 didn't seem to affect things in any way. Seriously, $2.99 for a 3000 word story is major rip-off. My "clever idea" was to get people to download the free issues which tout the price saving ability of the Complete Collection. $5.99 for 67,000 words is a price I can charge and still sleep at night(a little under 40¢ an issue). Who knows if my plan will work. (Hint: it hasn't yet!)

I really like the covers. I feel like they fit the stories perfectly. Some of them are more polished than others. Andi's still learning Adobe Illustrator just as I'm still a fledgling writer. What do you think of the cover for the Complete Series?

Can you give me some more detail about "professionalizing" the author bio? Obviously, you have nothing better to do than help a stranger on the internet.

I'll work on the descriptions. It's hard to make an interesting blurb about a short story without giving everything away.

Thanks for all your advice!

Reminds me of The Monster Exchange Program.
