《顺流而下的海龟》

It’s quite rare to find someone who sees the same world you see.

Sixteen-year-old Aza never intended to pursue the mystery of fugitive* billionaire Russell Pickett, but there’s a hundred-thousand-dollar reward at stake and her best and most fearless friend, Daisy, is eager to investigate*.

So together, they navigate the short distance and broad divides* that separate them from Russell Pickett’s son, Davis.

Aza is trying. She is trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, and maybe even a good detective, while also living within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.

In his long-awaited return, John Green shares Aza’s story with shattering, unflinching clarity* in this brilliant novel of love, resilience*, and the power of lifelong friendship.

It’s a fun story of teen friendship, young love, and a mystery needing to be solved. It’s a fast-moving read that really helps one get inside the head of someone suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)*. There’s a mystery to move the plot along, but the real heart of the story is in the characters and the poetry of the language as they struggle to find themselves.

Green is the award-winning, best-selling author of “Looking for Alaska,” “An Abundance of Katherines,” “Paper Towns,” “Will Grayson, Will Grayson” (with David Levithan), and “The Fault in Our Stars.”
