Readalike Wednesday-All things John Green

"Do you have Paper Towns by John Green?"


So...one of my most commonly asked questions is, "Do you have anything by John Green?"  Sadly, my answer in the past has been no, although now we have a copy of Let It Snow which includes a story by John Green!  In order to give you some middle school-approved John Green readalikes, this Readalike Wednesday is devoted to all things John Green!
