About the Book. Quentin "Q" Jacobsen has spent his whole life admiring Margo Roth Spiegelman from a distance, captivated by her legendary, larger-than-life escapades. When Margo climbs through his bedroom window one night and pulls him into an audacious evening of revenge against those who've wronged her, Q dares to believe their childhood friendship might finally rekindle. But the next morning, Margo is gone, leaving behind a trail of cryptic, deliberately placed clues that only Q seems able to follow. As he digs deeper into Margo's disappearance, joined by his loyal friends on an increasingly frantic search, Q begins to realise that the girl he idolised may never have been who he imagined her to be. The trail leads him from the string of abandoned "paper towns" that dot the American map to a soul-searching road trip that tests everything he thought he knew about identity, friendship and the stories we tell ourselves about the people we love. Funny, suspenseful and unexpectedly profound, Paper Towns asks what it really means to know someone — and whether the person we're chasing is ever quite real. It's a novel that rewards close reading and sparks genuine discussion, making it as at home on a school reading list as it is on a teenager's bedside table..
