John Greens' Paper Towns— a must-read book before it hits the big screen

Last summer, the adaptation of John Green’s tearjerker The Fault in Our Stars became a historic hit. This July, a second John Green book will make the jump to the big screen. Paper Towns is a love story, a road trip movie, and a cautionary tale. Like all of Green’s books, it’s the perfect blend of funny and sad, specific and universal, with characters that are relatable, articulate, and weird in all the right ways. After obsessing over the killer trailer, we’re more excited than ever to see this adaptation on July 24.

Adapted from the bestselling novel by author John Green, PAPER TOWNS is a coming-of-age story centering on Quentin and his enigmatic neighbor Margo, who loved mysteries so much she became one. After taking him on an all-night adventure through their hometown, Margo suddenly disappears--leaving behind cryptic clues for Quentin to decipher. The search leads Quentin and his quick-witted friends on an exhilarating adventure that is equal parts hilarious and moving. Ultimately, to track down Margo, Quentin must find a deeper understanding of true friendship--and true love.
