When Margo Roth Spiegelman beckons Quentin Jacobsen in the middle of the night—dressed like a ninja and plotting an ingenious campaign of revenge—he follows her. Margo’s always planned extravagantly, and, until now, she’s always planned solo. After a lifetime of loving Margo from afar, things are finally looking up for Q . . . until day breaks and she has vanished. Always an enigma, Margo has now become a mystery. But there are clues. And they’re for Q.

Printz Medalist John Green returns with the trademark brilliant wit and heart-stopping emotional honesty that have inspired a new generation of readers.

“Laugh-out-loud humor and heartfelt poignancy.”—Kliatt, starred review

Captivating Read

This was a great read. The story kept my attention throughout the entire book. I especially enjoyed the dialogue

goooood

the bar narrator knew how to keep your attention by switching voices and making the story pop out at you

You'll never know if you don't go

Coming of age, a mystery and a romance all in one? John Green has got your back.

Excellent Read!

My son is reading this book for a summer program so I thought it would be fun if I "read" it too, so we could talk about it. I expected it to be very juvenile and lame but I was pleasantly surprised! It is actually a great read! I loved the humor in the book and the suspense certainly kept me "turning the pages!" I would recommend this book to everyone!

Everyone should know a Margo

i evjoywd this fictional story. i originally heard from John Green in his podcast The Anthropocene Reviewed. It is a masterful piece of art. If you like this story, you will love the podcast, but enough of that. This story has a Margo, an adventurous spirit of a person who tugs on the lives of others - though perhaps somewhat unknowningly. It reminds me of a girl I knew some years back of her adventurous spirit which people would simply gravitate around getting caught up in her excitement for life. Everyone should do one such road trip. Everyone should either have such a Margo moment, even if for a weekend, or a Margo friend.
