Coming of age books with satire
Learning how to fit in also means discovering the peculiar rules of the people already in charge. Coming-of-age satire finds comedy in that education, questioning the social lessons a young person is expected to absorb without complaint.

How we choose booksFinding your way around this shelf
Look at which expectations the growing character encounters and whose example they are meant to follow. The profiles describe the setting and comic target. Check the audience and emotional context as well; a young protagonist does not by itself establish the intended readership.
Humor is personal. Our labels describe supported traits, not a promise that every reader will find the same things funny. How we classify books.
