CRYING LAUGHING - LANCE RUBIN KARTONIERT (TB)

A tragicomic story of bad dates  bad news  bad performances  and one girl's determination to
find the funny in high school from the author of Denton Little's Deathdate. Winnie Friedman has
been waiting for the world to catch on to what she already knows: she's hilarious. It might be
a long wait  though. After bombing a stand-up set at her own bat mitzvah  Winnie has kept her
jokes to herself. Well  to herself and her dad  a former comedian and her inspiration. Then  on
the second day of tenth grade  the funniest guy in school actually laughs at a comment she
makes in the lunch line and asks her to join the improv troupe. Maybe he's even . . . flirting?
Just when Winnie's ready to say yes to comedy again  her father reveals that he's been
diagnosed with ALS. That is . . . not funny. Her dad's still making jokes  though  which feels
like a good thing. And Winnie's prepared to be his straight man if that's what he wants. But is
it what he needs? Caught up in a spiral of epically bad dates  bad news  and bad performances 
Winnie's struggling to see the humor in it all. But finding a way to laugh is exactly what will
see her through. **A Junior Library Guild Selection**
