It's Kind of a Funny Story

Teen's humorous journey through mental health challenges.

If you've ever felt the weight of expectations so heavily that you couldn't breathe, this book might resonate with you. It's an honest, yet surprisingly humorous, look at adolescent mental health. Ned Vizzini writes from experience, which gives the story authenticity and hope—proof that there's light even when the tunnel seems endless.

Description

Ambitious New York City teenager Craig Gilner is determined to succeed in life—getting into the right high school to secure the right future. After earning a place at Manhattan's Executive Pre-Professional High School, the pressure becomes overwhelming. He stops eating and sleeping, and one night, he nearly kills himself. Craig's suicidal episode lands him in a mental hospital, where his new neighbors include a transgender patient who struggles with sexual addiction, a girl who has scarred her own face with scissors, and the self-appointed President Armelio. There, Craig confronts the sources of his anxiety. Ned Vizzini, who himself spent time in a psychiatric hospital, has created a remarkably moving tale about the sometimes winding road to happiness.
