Right now, I am almost midway through Papertowns by John Green. This book is realistic fiction, like I mentioned before... but it is also a mystery novel. This is very different for me because I do not usually read mystery novels. I usually don't like them, but surprisingly, I love Papertowns! If you are into solving mysteries and investigating clues then I would definitely check this book out!

Currently, in Papertowns Margo has run away! She's run away many times in the past but this is the longest she has been gone. Quentin feels like it is his responsibility to find her. Margo leaves clues just for him. Margo leaves him a clue that leads Quentin to her room where he finds a book full of highlighted quotes. In one of the quotes she tells him to "unscrew the lock from the door and unscrew the door itself from the jamb." So, When Quentin does this he finds out that Margo is hidden in Christmas, Florida.

The next morning Quentin quickly rushes to Florida with his buddies, Ben and Radar. When they arrive at there destination they discover it is an abandoned mall. Quentin starts to panic because on page 139 he says, "it seemed to me that this is not a place you go to live. It was a place you go to die." When Margo and Quentin were kids they once found a dead man slumped next to a tree at the park. Quentin is worried that he will find Margo like that at the mall. He is determined to find her alive.

  1. Paper Towns is such a good book! It's good you're enjoying this even though you don't usually like mystery books. John Green is an amazing author. Everything he has wrote that I've read so far is realistic. Green tries to find a connection from the story to real life, I think. Good job with the referencing, too!

  2. This sounds like a very good book, I have heard many good things from people about this book. I have read the Fault in Our Stars by john Green and that is a very good book so I would imagine that this book would be very good too because John Green is a great author! I like how you explained what is happening in the book and gave quotes as examples. Do you have any predictions of what is going to happen next? Does Margo like Quentin back?
