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, the acclaimed, award-winning author of Looking for Alaska and The Fault in Our Stars,
shares Aza’s story with shattering, unflinching clarity in this
brilliant novel of love, resilience, and the power of lifelong
friendship.
