Hiassen’s Hoot is hilarious, too. He has a whole series of books supposedly marketed for young adults, but don’t be put off by the YA label. There are many excellent books by authors marketed as YA, such as After the First Death and The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier, Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers (about the Vietnam War, but much more), The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, The Giver by Lois Lowry—I could go on and on.
