Hi Anna,
Maybe also try some funny comics (Calvin & Hobbs, Far Side) and poetry (Shel Silverstein, Jack Pretlusky). I agree with Dottie that the Series of Unfortunate Events can be very humorous, and with CFK about Phantom Tollbooth (my 11 yr old re-reads this one every year). Also try books by Robert Lawson that combine history with humor ("Ben and Me" about Ben Franklin and his mouse & others). I think the Joey Pigza books (Jack Gantos) are very funny, but in a sad way and may introduce topics that are mature (ADD, alcoholism, divorce, etc.) but all that more interesting topics for conversation with Mom.
