Funny YA Reads

Earlier this month, Sharon Rawlins over at The Hub, the blog for the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), posed the question "Where has all the humor gone in YA books?"

A fair question. Sometimes, you're not in the mood for vampires, dystopias or melodramatic dramas. Luckily Rawlins included several suggestions to get the ball rolling when it comes to funny YA reads (be sure to check out comments left on Rawlin's post for even more ideas!).
