The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. 336 p. Penguin Young Readers, January, 2012. 9780525478812.
Our Teen Tuesday recommendation comes courtesy of a student. She loved The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. John Green writes for a mostly high school audience. His books are engaging, feature smart characters and mature themes and occasionally language. In The Fault in Our Stars, Hazel Grace is forced by her well-meaning parents to attend a cancer support group. She meets Augustus there and the two fall in love. His cancer is in remission after his leg was amputated, Hazel is considered terminal, but a new, experimental drug is keeping her alive. You will need tissues for this one but you will also laugh through those tears.
