Paper Towns: slipping into an extraordinary journey of self discovery
Paper Towns, by John Green, is the story about two dynamic characters: Quentin Jacobsen and his childhood friend, Margo Roth Spiegelman. This young adult fiction takes place at a Florida High School and during the last few weeks of Margo and Quentin's senior year.
