School libraries are one way to create a portal to decreased anxiety, routine, and familiarity. There are a ton of funny YA out there from diverse voices. That is another goal of mine, of course, to try and ensure students can find themselves in the books they borrow from their library. Funny books in particular allow teens to see themselves caught up in awkward situations, and these books allow them to see that everyone feels awkward – no one really knows what they are doing. It is part of a shared experience that is unique to literature and especially unique to YA lit because it is aimed a very particular audience, even as it transcends that audience. We’ve written funny YA book lists in the past, and it’s always a good idea to have more in the bank. My goal is to help other librarians and caretakers find great YA books that they can add to their shelves. I hope these funny books for teens make it to your shelf as well. Enjoy!
