About this book
The events in these stories are real. Some names have been changed so I don’t get yelled at.
Ned Vizzini writes about the weird, funny, and sometimes mortifying moments that made up his teen years. With wit, irony, and honesty, Teen Angst? Naaah . . . invites you into his world of school, parents, street people, rock bands, friends, fame, camp, sex (sort of), Cancun (almost), prom, beer, Nintendo, the cool (and almost cool), and more. A Holden Caulfield for Generation Y, Ned Vizzini is an original voice to be reckoned with, read, and enjoyed.
"Teens are sure to find much that is familiar in these recollections.” -- Booklist
“Comical and intelligent.” -- Publishers Weekly
“Fiercely intelligent and introspective . . . Vizzini’s wonderfully sardonic voice suggests a wisdom beyond his years. . . . This surefire title is bright, insightful, and thoroughly charming.” -- School Library Journal
