More Description′A teen−pleasing read. Readers will enjoy the edgy journey and off−road thinking′ Publishers Weekly Quentin Jacobsen − Q to his friends− is eighteen and has always loved the edgy Margo Roth Spiegelman. As children‚ they′d discovered a dead body together. Now at high school‚ Q′s nerdy while Margo is uber−cool. One night‚ Q is basking in the predictable boringness of his life when Margo‚ dressed as a ninja‚ persuades him to partake in several hours of mayhem. Then she vanishes. While her family shrugs off this latest disappearance‚ Q follows Margo′s string of elaborate clues − including a poem about death. Q′s friends‚ Radar‚ Ben and Lacey‚ help with the search‚ and a post turns up on a website: Margo will be in a certain location for the next 24 hours only. The race is on! After an epic drive through the night‚ they catch up with Margo‚ and Q learns first−hand that the way you think about a person isn′t the way they actually are. Praise from the USA for Paper Towns: ′ ...fascinating‚ cleverly constructed‚ and profoundly moving′ School Library Journal‚ starred review ′Green...delivers once again ... A winning combination′ Kirkus Reviews
