MUNMUN is my most recent book. It is about inequality and dreams. Its story takes place in an alternate reality a lot like our own, except that everyone is proportional in size to how much munmun (money) they have. Warner and his sister Prayer have none, and so they're about the size of rats. On the other end of the spectrum, the richest character in the book is over 150 feet tall.

In starred reviews, Kirkus Reviews calls it "brilliant, savage, hilarious, a riveting journey through a harsh world that mirrors our own," and Publishers Weekly describes it as "brash and wildly inventive... Warner may be small, but his giant heart and brutally honest narration propel this intense, cuttingly funny novel." Booklist says it's "a unique, caustic, thought-provoking lampoon of America’s obsession with wealth," and School Library Journal calls it "endlessly discussable and a first purchase for public and high school libraries."

It was published in April 2018 in the US and Canada by Amulet Books and elsewhere in the world by many other publishers (Allen & Unwin in the UK and Australia and New Zealand). Below are some alphabetized ways you can order this book right now! Wow!

(Oh and I wrote a lot of this book at the fantastic Cassilhaus residency in North Carolina. Hi Frank and Ellen!)

THE HATERS (Amulet Books, 2016) is my second novel. It is the story of three teenagers, Wes, Corey, and Ash, who meet at jazz camp and decide to run away and go on tour together. I wrote it in part to capture my own experiences being on tour with the bands I was in when I was a lot younger. We had tiny fan bases and played at venues that often felt ridiculous, like a buffet at 5 in the afternoon with nowhere to set up where you weren’t blocking people’s access to the egg rolls. But it was also a lot of fun in an unwashed sleep-deprived punchy way.

In a starred review, Booklist called it "uproariously funny ... very of-the-moment ... Effortlessly readable, deeply enjoyable, and, given the years since Andrews' fantastic debut, well worth the wait." The New York Times added, "I laughed so hard I scared my cat off the couch multiple times... excels at describing music."

The Haters has been the target of book bans for its vulgarity and explicit description of sex, although it has not been banned nearly as many times as the next book on this page.

Here are some alphabetized ways I recommend buying this book right now if you are not near an independent bookstore. But if you are near an independent bookstore, just go there. You'll make some friends and get some great books and help fend off a future in which humans have become the catatonic hyperconsumers depicted in Wall-E. What are you talking about you haven't seen Wall-E. Goddammit. Okay, go see Wall-E first.

ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL (Amulet Books, 2012) is my first novel. It became a New York Times bestseller, and the movie adaptation (written by me, directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, and starring Thomas Mann, Olivia Cooke, and RJ Cyler) won both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival.

It is the story of Greg Gaines, the terminally awkward groundhog-looking kid who just wants to survive high school without anyone really paying attention to him; his only friend and coworker Earl Jackson, who is the creative genius that he makes deeply terrible movies with; and Rachel, a girl with cancer that Greg's mom is forcing him to hang out with.

In starred reviews, Booklist called it "one funny book" and "moving," and Kirkus Reviews said it "stands on its own in inventiveness, humor, and heart." It also won the 2013 Cybils Award for Young-Adult Fiction, among other recognitions.

Me and Earl has also become one of the ten most banned books in America, which is not a sentence I in a billion years ever expected to type, but, here we are. I wrote a reaction to the banning of Me and Earl for Deadline. Here it is if you want to read it.

And here, again, are alphabetized links you can use to buy this book. But it is also very possibly at your local indie bookstore if you have one. So, just go there. Okay great.
