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.

especially Tess, the cute, witty editor-in-chief.But as the case gets bigger than Gideon or Lily could have anticipated, Gideon must balance his black-and- white quest for the truth with the full colors of real life-or risk a permanent fade to black.

Isabel ist schlagfertig, witzig und hat immer einen passenden Spruch parat. Das einzige Problem: Nichts davon spricht sie je laut aus. Denn zu Hause dreht sich alles um ihre älteren Geschwister und in der Schule übernimmt Isabels Freund das Reden. Es hört ihr einfach keiner zu. Doch dann stolpert Isabel aus Versehen auf eine Comedy-Bühne und bekommt für ihren spontanen Auftritt sogar ein paar Lacher. Sie – eine Stand-up-Comedian? Ihre neue Freundin Mo glaubt jedenfalls fest an Isabels Talent. Doch die studiert schon und darf nicht wissen, dass Isabel noch zur Schule geht. Genau wie ihr eifersüchtiger Freund Alex nicht wissen darf, dass sie abends in Comedy-Clubs wie dem Dschungel auftritt. Und so führt Isabel plötzlich ein Doppelleben zwischen Schule und Stand-up … Ein humorvoller Jugendroman, der einen Einblick in die fabelhafte Welt der Stand-up-Comedy gibt und mit Tiefgang über die wichtigen Themen Selbstvertrauen, toxische Beziehungen und die Suche nach sich selbst erzählt.
