In case you haven't noticed, I really like John Green's writing. I think he does an amazing job capturing the realities of friendship. In my opinion, John Green creates the most believable portraits of teenagers.
In Paper Town, Quentin has good friends, good grades, and a good relationship with his parents. The one things he's always longed for, though, is his next door neighbor, Margo Roth Spiegelman. One night, Margo knocks on Q's window and takes him on an adventure of a lifetime -- complete with revenge and breaking and entering. The next day, Margo disappears, leaving a few clues behind. Q decides it is his mission to find her.
Paper Towns combines elements of An Abundance of Katherines and Looking for Alaska, and it would be a great addition to a junior level curriculum or summer reading program.
