Turtles All the Way Down
"Filled with dark humour and written with a beautiful simplicity that draws the reader in so deeply that it's not just the twist and turns but the gentle bends and curves that you feel tugging at your emotions" Daily Express. "[Green] shows us true love - two teenagers helping and accepting each other through the most humiliating physical and emotional ordeals - and it is far more romantic than any sunset on the beach" New York Times Book Review. "A novel of life and death and the people caught in between, The Fault in Our Stars is John Green at his best. You laugh, you cry, and then you come back for more" Markus Zusak, bestselling author of The Book Thief. "The Fault in Our Stars takes a spin on universal themes - Will I be loved ? Will I be remembered ? Will I leave a mark on this world ? - by dramatically raising the stakes for the characters who are asking" Jodi Picoult, bestselling author of My sister's keeper and Sing you home.
Città di carta

Quentin Jacobsen è sempre stato innamorato di Margo Roth Spiegelman, fin da quando, da bambini, hanno condiviso un'inquietante scoperta. Con il passare degli anni il loro legame speciale sembrava essersi spezzato, ma alla vigilia del diploma Margo appare all'improvviso alla finestra di Quentin e lo trascina in piena notte in un'avventura indimenticabile. Forse le cose possono cambiare, forse tra di loro tutto ricomincerà. E invece no. La mattina dopo Margo scompare misteriosamente. Tutti credono che si tratti di un altro dei suoi colpi di testa, di uno dei suoi viaggi on the road che l'hanno resa leggendaria a scuola. Ma questa volta è diverso. Questa fuga da Orlando, la sua città di carta, dopo che tutti i fili dentro di lei si sono spezzati, potrebbe essere l'ultima.
