The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel comes to high school in acclaimed author Katie Henry's coming-of-age YA contemporary about a girl who accidentally falls into the world of stand-up comedy. Perfect for fans of John Green and Becky Albertalli!
Sixteen-year-old Izzy is used to keeping her thoughts to herself-in school
where her boyfriend does the talking for her
and at home
where it's impossible to compete with her older siblings and high-powered parents.
When she mistakenly walks into a stand-up comedy club and performs
the experience is surprisingly cathartic. After the show
she meets Mo
an aspiring comic who's everything Izzy's not: bold
confident
comfortable in her skin. Mo invites Izzy to join her group of friends and introduces her to the Chicago open mic scene.
The only problem? Her new friends are college students-and Izzy tells them she's one
too. Now Izzy
the dutiful daughter and model student
is sneaking out to perform stand-up with her comedy friends. Her controlling boyfriend is getting suspicious
and her former best friend knows there's something going on.
But Izzy loves comedy and this newfound freedom. As her two parallel lives collide-in the most hilarious of ways-Izzy must choose to either hide what she really wants and who she really is
or finally
truly stand up for herself.
