520    The author of Denton Little's Deathdate gives us a 
       tragicomic story of bad dates, bad news, bad performances,
       and one girl's determination to find the funny in high 
       school. 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.--|cPublisher's description.
