Teen Review: The Fault in Our Stars

The Fault in Our Stars by JK

The book The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is a great book for young adults and older. The novel follows the story of a teen girl who is diagnosed with cancer at age 13. Hazel Grace Lancaster was diagnosed with terminal thyroid cancer that spread to her lungs over time. When she goes to a cancer support group, she meets Augustus Walters, a teenage boy that has osteosarcoma, a kind of cancer tat is common in adolescents that could be quiet for some time before hitting them full force.

Once Hazel and Gus meet, both their worlds change. They do everything together and they would spend most of their time with each other. The novel is a page turner, there's a surprise and bump on every page. It sucks you in and forces you to want to know more. It has the perfect mixture of romance, drama, and comedy that pushes the reader to not stop reading.

This novel especially will allow you to see the world differently and in a whole new light. I recommend this novel to anyone 13 and older.

8 YA BOOK CLUB BOOKS TO READ FOR GREAT DISCUSSIONS

Alice Nuttall Sep 5, 2023 B ook clubs aren’t just a way to enjoy reading and branch out by trying books you wouldn’t have picked for yourself — they’re also a great way to get into discussions of multiple different subjects inspired by the reading you’ve done together. While book clubs can be beneficial to people of all ages, they can be a particularly helpful place for teens to engage with new ideas, put their opinions forward, and take part in friendly discussions about everything from social issues to the writing process. I’ve been in a few book clubs over the years, and while I certainly haven’t loved everything I’ve read as part of them, it definitely led me to YA book club books I otherwise would never have tried and got me looking at a whole range of different perspectives. School is back in session for the autumn, and whether you’re an educator yourself or just want to help the teens in your life discover new books, a YA book club is a great way to get young people engage...
