This smart, fun, insightful book shows what growing up is all about: the good, the bad, and the ugly and how each of these moments is just as important as the next. Ned Vizzini's BE MORE CHILL and IT'S KIND OF A FUNNY STORY are flying off the shelves and we know this re-packaged title will do the same.

In Teen Angst! Naaah . . . Ned Vizzini offers an authentic and raw portrayal of the crushing anxiety many teens experience, and which often is dismissed as simple ‘angst’. In this classic testament to high school, Ned invites you into his world of school, parents, cool (and almost cool), music (the good and bad), friends, fame, camp, sex (sort of), Cancún (almost), prom, beer, video games, and more.  With wit, irony, and honesty, Vizzini presents the weird, funny, and sometimes mortifying moments that made up his teen years. From the author of Broadway musical sensation Be More Chill and It's Kind of a Funny Story, this is a quasi-autobiographical examination of one high schooler’s battle with social anxiety, written when the author was just nineteen.

 “Fiercely intelligent and introspective . . . Insightful, and thoroughly charming.” —SLJ
