A Conversation with John Green
A Conversation with John Green
Though John Green is too humble to say it, he's one of the best authors writing for teens today. In the three novels he's written so far, John provides readers with smart characters, humorous situations, and deeply philosophical themes. Tune in to hear John discuss why he writes for teens, what he believes readers can gain from their English classes, and some of the thinking behind his newest book, Paper Towns.
