'''Shortlisted for the YA Book Prize 2015'''
It’s no secret that I’m a massive fan of teen fiction and I think it does an awful lot of things really well. Amongst other things, it can transport the reader to faraway times and places. It can also let them empathise with people in situations that they’ll probably – and in many cases hopefully – never be in themselves. I think it’s fair to say, looking at the recent Carnegie longlist as just one example, that books which do either of the above things tend to be the most critically-acclaimed.
With that proviso, really strong recommendation to anyone looking to laugh like crazy through an entire book!
Other staggeringly funny reads of the last year include [[Boys Don't Knit by TS T S Easton]] and [[Have A a Little Faith by Candy Harper]]. We also loved [[Freshers by Tom Ellen and Lucy Ivison]].
