"Turtles All the Way Down" (Signed Edition)
The Wizard has a signed edition. Limited quantities may still be available.
#1 bestselling author John Green returns with his first new novel since "The Fault in Our Stars"!
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.
The Wizard has a signed copy. (Don't tell John, but I'm his #1 fan.... :)
"Turtles all the way down" is a fantastic book following the life story of Aza and hr best friend Daisy. They have a unique friendship, I'd say like close sisters. Aza has a mental illness, and how she copes with it, and how it affects those around her who love her is told in this story with amazing realism. It makes us living with mental illness know we are not alone. John Green has a very cool way to tell a story about what it feels like and is like to live with mental illness. Being betrayed by your brain is the most scary thought there could be. I read the book rather quickly and time (IRL) passed quickly while I read it. I heartily recommend Turtles all the way down, a great read by an accomplished author. Suitable for all ages!
