Well, by now you've presumably heard of a book called The Fault in Our Stars, by one Mr. John Green. I'm happy to announce that we've just bought it - and other Green-hued titles - for the NCLS e-book collection. Enjoy!
The Fault in Our Stars.
Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few
years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter
inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus
Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is
about to be completely rewritten.
Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars brilliantly explores the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.

An Abundance of Katherines.
When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type is girls named
Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always
getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact. On a road trip miles from
home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand
dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty feral hog on his trail, and an
overweight, Judge Judy–loving best friend riding shotgun—but no
Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying
Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any
relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl.
Love, friendship, and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke add up to
surprising and heart-changing conclusions in this ingeniously layered
comic novel about reinventing oneself.
Looking for Alaska.
Before. Miles "Pudge" Halter is done with his safe life at home. His
whole life has been one big non-event, and his obsession with famous
last words has only made him crave "the Great Perhaps" even more
(Francois Rabelais, poet). He heads off to the sometimes crazy and
anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life
becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The
gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed up, and
utterly fascinating Alaska Young. She is an event unto herself. She
pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and
steals his heart. Then. . . .
After. Nothing is ever the same.
Paper Towns.
When Margo Roth Spiegelman beckons Quentin Jacobsen in the middle of the
night—dressed like a ninja and plotting an ingenious campaign of
revenge—he follows her. Margo's always planned extravagantly, and, until
now, she's always planned solo. After a lifetime of loving Margo from
afar, things are finally looking up for Q . . . until day breaks and she
has vanished. Always an enigma, Margo has now become a mystery. But
there are clues. And they're for Q.
