John Green

John Green's debut novel Looking for Alaska follows Miles Halter to an Alabama boarding school in search of what a dying poet called the Great Perhaps, and into a friendship that reorders everything he thought he knew about how to grieve.

John Green's The Fault in Our Stars follows Hazel Grace Lancaster, a teenager living with terminal cancer, through a love story with Augustus Waters that is funny and devastating in the same breath, told in prose sharp enough to survive its own sadness.
