One young adult author I find consistently funny is M.E. Kerr. I especially recommend her satirical novel, "Little Little," published many years ago but certainly one of the oddest, funniest books ever written for teens.

Margaret Mahy's young adult novels also have a lot of humor, in spite of the fact that she takes on serious themes as well. I think
"Catalogue of the Universe" is one of the funniest books I've ever read.
 I've read it 10 times and it never fails to make me laugh.

What other young adult authors come to mind when you think of humor?
