Title: Turtles All the Way Down Author: GREEN JOHN Format: HARDCOVER Publication date: 10/10/2017 Imprint: PENGUIN Price: $27.99 Publishing status: Active
Never one to shy away from tackling confrontational issues, superstar YA author John Green has followed up his bestselling novels about cancer and mortality (A Fault in Our Stars) and teenage suicide (Looking for Alaska) with this insightful story about 16-year-old Aza, who suffers from anxiety and copes with this by self-harming. When Aza and her best friend Daisy set out to solve the mystery of the disappearance of local billionaire Russell Pickett, Aza reconnects with Pickett’s son Davis, a poet and stargazer who is in many ways as vulnerable as Aza. Believable, sympathetic characters (including Aza’s mother) and an ending that offers hope for both Aza and Davis temper the sombre themes and make this as readable, sensible and topical as Green’s previous books. 15+
