Zits: Shredded
The teen crew of the Zits comic strip—at least the male members Jeremy, Hector, and the aptly named Pierce—roar off on a road trip in their veggie-oil-guzzling minivan in this second and even more hilarious story, following Zits: Chillax (2013). Along with misadventures aplenty, punctuated by frequent stops to consume awe-inspiring quantities of fast food, the lads contrive to cut and press a vinyl record to help their GFs raise money for a (more or less) charitable cause. A delectable mix of first-person narrative and, on almost every page, drawings with punch lines and additional dialogue. Grades 7-10. --John Peters
