Genre: Young Adult Fiction
My Rating: All-Time-Favorite
For those of you who happened to be in the store (Inkwood) last holiday season, I'm sure you've heard enough about this book... but it is STILL my favorite after a whole year. It's in paperback now and has a snappy new cover and I feel the need to push it yet again.
It starts with a typical storyline - boy loves girl from a distance with no hope of being noticed. Quentin has been in awe of Margo Roth Spiegelman for as long as he can remember, and now it's almost the end of his senior year of high school and she barely even acknowledges that he exists. And then, late one night, Margo climbs in through Quentin's bedroom window and demands that he join her in a night of revenge. Quentin agrees, and the two set out on an insane quest to get back at those who have angered Margo. Their night-time adventure is quite crazy, and by the morning Quentin is convinced that Margo has entered his life for a reason - only to find that she has disappeared.
Margo's run off in the past, so a few days go by before Quentin begins to really worry about her safety. But the story really takes off once Quentin finds clues to Margo's hiding spot hidden in one of her highlighted copies of Leaves of Grass by Whitman. Quentin and his humorous buddies, Ben and Radar, end up on a wild adventure to find Margo before it's too late.
I read this book in one sitting and then passed it on to quite a few friends who all did the same. It's perfect for girls or guys and is sure to be a hit.
