All My Friends Are Dead by Avery Monsen and Jory John
What looks like a small, chunky picture book is actually not a book for children at all. Instead it is a very funny book for teens and adults that is filled with black humor yet an appealing cuteness as well. From the tree whose friends are all end tables to the yeti whose friends are all hoaxes, turning each page leads to a new surprise.
Readable in a matter of minutes, this book had both my husband and teen son reading it merrily aloud to me even though I had just read it myself. Both stopped in the middle of their morning routines and read the book cover to cover, chuckling and laughing out loud.
Get this in the hands of teens who will recognize the children’s format and also immediately get that this is a book that is not for the little ones. It is a book that will have you laughing at death, much to your amazement and glee.

Reminds me of “It’s a Book,” by Lane Smith. The cover also makes it look like a book for young children, but it’s not. For one thing, one of the characters is called Jackass. The message is basically: “Remember the good ol’ days, when we read books and spoke in complete sentences, instead of playing around with all these newfangled gadgets and writing in text-message-ese?”
