Still, there are some very funny teen boy books out there that will also appeal to girls, by the way. The best ones I've read so far appear on the list below. I've rounded out the list with a few books that aren't specifically YA, but I'm of the opinion that a good read is a good read no matter where someone decides it should be shelved.
Some of them may not be exactly appropriate for younger readers let's say, under 15 but hey, I was reading Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot at 10 and I turned out ok mostly , so, who am I to say what is and isn't appropriate.
- Essentials of Audiology.
- Listening to the Voice of God?
- Be Love Now: The Path of the Heart;

I'll indicate when I think a book might be for an older audience, but we all know how effective those kinds of warnings are. The nice thing about a book is that you can always set it aside if it's not for you, for whatever reason. With all that said, let's get started. I'm not sure what else there is to say that hasn't already been said about this book and its sequels. I read somewhere that Douglas Adams was told that a sci-fi comedy wouldn't work.
There's a lesson there, folks. The book is bizarre, and insane, and shoot-soda-out-of-your-nose funny. You know a novel is good when you can read it again and again and still find yourself laughing just as hard as you did the first time around.
7. Be More Chill by Ned Vizzini
I'm a Douglas Adams fan. This book is even stranger and more absurd than Hitchhiker's but that's part of it's charm.
- List of songs recorded by "Weird Al" Yankovic.
- Martín and Meditations on the South Valley: Poems.
- Loro di Sharpe: Le avventure di Richard Sharpe (La Gaja scienza) (Italian Edition).
- 8. Spanking Shakespeare by Jake Wizner.
It's impossible to describe the book's plot to you in any way that would make sense. Just read it and enjoy. The first chapter is utterly confusing but things start to make sense sort of a little later on. Okay, here is one of those books that "may not be suitable for younger readers. It's still damn funny and feels authentic to me. The trouble with so many so-called YA books is that they don't ring true.
Let's Get It Started
The author uses an interesting technique of writing in the third and first person from several characters' perspectives. But it all works.
And it's great fun. A gut-busting comedy about a boy with a brain tumour, you ask? Yup, that's what you've got here. I love Hector's voice and attitude throughout. His observations are irreverent and hilarious. For some inexplicable reason the title of this book was changed to Jack Tumor when it was published in the States.
This is a British comedy romance, short novel that is approximately 51, words in length. You can download Apple Books from the App Store.
