The book trailer you won’t forget: Jake Wizner’s ‘Castration Celebration’

…yes, that is the title.

Even better?

The book trailer is set to a song entitled, “I saw my parents having sex” — a musical number right from the pages of Castration Celebration.

Jake Wizner’s previous YA novel, Spanking Shakespeare (2008) tackled the horrors of senior year for one uniquely named, Shakespeare Shapiro and won accolades for its bawdy humor and confessional style – one of the best compliments coming from the Chicago Tribune who said, “this brilliantly lewd novel is hilarious.”

This time the subject is music camp…but High School Musical this isn’t.

*YA Today note: the book trailer IS quite salacious (though nothing you won’t see on primetime TV any day of the week), but it is certainly PG-13 just so you are aware….interestingly, it is these mature aspects of Wizner’s work that have netted him a huge amount of parental ire — and a huge number of teen fans.
