For the past four weeks, we’ve been introducing the twenty five titles on this year’s Teens’ Top Ten list. From now until September 16th, you can visit the official Teens’ Top Ten page to vote on your favorite book. The winners will be announced during Teen Read Week, October 16 to 22. If you’ve read and enjoyed any of the nominees, go vote for it!
This week, I’ve got a couple of humorous titles for you.
You Killed Wesley Payne by Sean Beaudoin
Dalton Rev is no ordinary teenager – he’s a private eye – and he’s just been summoned to Salt River High to solve a murder. Facing off against the school’s cliques in this twisted tale full of dark humor, Dalton has to solve the murder, stay alive, and get the girl. Mystery fans shouldn’t miss this one.
Zombies vs. Unicorns by Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier
As awesome as it would be to see an all out smack down between zombies and unicorns, that’s not what this book is. Black and Larbalestier compiled a great collection of short stories about either zombies or unicorns by some of today’s best YA authors (including Meg Cabot, Scott Westerfeld, and Cassandra Clare) and published them together in this volume, asking readers to use the stories as evidence to decide who would win in a fight. The stories run the gamut of serious and funny, sweet and scary.
Love, Inc. by Yvonne Collins
When Zahara, Kali, and Syd meet in a support group for children of divorcing parents, they discover that they’ve all been dating the same guy. Working together, they put an embarrassing end to his cheating ways. However, when word gets out about their successful revenge, the girls have friends asking if they can do it again – Love, Inc., opens for business.
