Book 1 Project (Best Sellers)

Have you read Paper Towns? Have you ever wanted to get your hands on a notebook like Margo's? Well now you can! If you have information or secrets that you need somewhere to put, get this notebook! You could even try to write cross-hatch, like Margo. Don't know how? A guide of how to write in crosshatch will be included. John Green has allowed us to include Margo's story in the first few pages! So now you can get an exclusive look into the 10 year old mind of Margo Roth Spiegelman.

Margo has been writing a story about finding Robert Joyner with Quentin since she was 10. Robert Joyner committed suicide in the park, and was found by Margo and Quentin. She wrote Quentin in as the heroic and fearless boy whom Margo has a major crush on. Margo has been rewriting and revising the story since.  "She pulls open the book and shows me a page. The writing is indecipherable, not because Margo's handwriting is bad, but because on top of the horizontal lines of text, writing also goes vertically down the page. "I write crosshatch," Margo says." (290)  Margo has her plans for leaving and plans for revenge in the notebook. She needed to keep her ideas safe, if anyone ever got their hands on her notebook.


“You know your problem, Quentin? You keep expecting people not to be themselves."  This was said by Radar, Quentins bestfriend. Throughout his childhood, Quentin idolized Margo, and thought she was perfection. Then, the night when Margo left, Quentin was confused and angry. He thought that Margo and him were close, but for Margo to leave, not telling him, it made him angry. Whenever Margo was found, Quentin realized she would always be the same Margo and she could never be any more or any less than she was. Margo had finally gotten an ending to her story, and now you can too! Finish out your Paper Towns experience with this fan-exclusive content by Margo herself!
