John Green- My abosolute favorite writer. His new book,' Paper Towns' exceeded my expectations. I highly reccomend this to any English teacher that is looking for a good book for their kids to read. There are several adolecent themes that are highlighted in this book. Plus it comes with discussion questions at the end.
Plot- A guy and his best friend are living out the rest of their senior year of high school . This guy and his best friend Margo are childhood friends. Margo is this spunky girl who is not so normal. She creates a series of pranks for them to do one night to get back at her cheating boyfriend. This turns out to be the narrators best night of his life. Margo then vanishes the next day. The narrator assumes that because she created this crazy night, there is more to the story.
I highly reccomend this book and any of his others, "Looking for Alaska", "Let it Snow", and" An Abundance of Katherines. "
I'll write about my other book later. This computer isnt letting me add a picture.
totally loved An Abundance of Katherines...plus meeting him a few years ago at the Kalamazoo Public Library made me really like his work anyway
ReplyDeletei just checked out Let it Snow from the library today! Totally excited to read it!
ReplyDeleteLaura? Have you started it yet? Seriously..
ReplyDeleteThat book is AMAZING!
Just finished Let it Snow and I loved it. Seriously, so good. It would be a really great example for kids on how to write the same event from different perspectives; I love when writers can really pull that off. I came onto the blog to see what I want to go check out next!
