Revolting Youth: The Further Journals of Nick Twisp

by C. D. Payne

Overview

The hilarious sequel to the cult favorite Youth in Revolt, now a major motion picture starring Michael Cera and Justin Long.

In the wry and subversive further journals of Nick Twisp, we reunite with America’s most literate teen diarist as he accidentally ignites criminal mayhem; seeks union with his love, Sheeni Saunders; and still has to live as a girl to avoid the police—an absolute must-read for all fans of the oddball humor of Youth in Revolt.

What People are Saying About This

Jenna

I have read Youth in Revolt, probably about twice a year since I bought my copy in the dark year of 1996. I never thought it would be as good on the second read, but it is...and every time there after. Long Live Nick Twisp!

Nancy

I've read Youth in Revolt so many times I couldn't count. I've loaned it to people, convinced people to buy their own copies and I've read it aloud to two people who were too skeptical and lazy to read it on their own when I suggested it.

Chris

I checked Youth in Revolt out from the library 4 times before I finally bought it. Since then I have read it twice and I just started it again...About every six months I will get a little tickle for it and will have to pick it up.

M.P.

I have read the whole Youth in Revolt series 4 times (once a year since I got the darn book) and working on the 5th...As a side note, the fourth and current time reading the thing has been aloud. It has proven to be great entertainment for all in the car during long road trips across country.
