When I was once lost in the library, I came stumbling upon a book titled The Fault in Our Stars.

The Fault in Our Stars is the first novel ever that I read by John Green. It was the first novel that I ever got hooked onto and the first novel that opened me up to a new world of imaginations and adventures.
"It seemed like forever ago, like we've had this brief but still infinite forever. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities."
~John Green
Other inspirational novels that I've read by John Green are:
Looking for Alaska
An Abundance of Katherines
Paper Towns
Turtles All the Way Down

Check these books out! It is wonderful how each of these stories have their own ways of adventure and mystery. It'll keep you turning the pages!

Six Months Later by Natalie D. Richards

Summary: It was the middle of May when Chloe fell asleep in study hall. However, when she wakes up, there is snow on the ground, and she is unable to remember the previous six months.

She's now on track to graduate as valedictorian and is being courted by Ivy League schools.
She'd never had a chance with sports star Blake before.
He's now her boyfriend.
Maggie and Chloe used to be inseparable.
Her best friend has stopped speaking to her.
She had no idea that remembering the truth may be more dangerous than she had thought.
Five Total Strangers by Natalie D. Richards

Quote: "She thought being stranded was the worst thing that could happen. She was wrong."

Mira's gorgeous seatmate from her first flight, Harper, then offers her a ride. On their way home, Harper and her three companions may drop Mira off. However, as they set out, Mira notices that her fellow travelers are all complete strangers. And each of them is concealing something.
The roads quickly turn from slick to scary. People's possessions are inexplicably vanishing. Someone in the car is obviously lying, and may even be attempting to sabotage the journey. Mira might make it home alive or her nightmare will drive end in tragedy.
Hey, Kiddo by Jarrett J. Krosoczka

Summary: Hey, Kiddo is a powerful story about growing up in a household that struggles with addiction and discovering the art that helps you survive.
Jarrett Krosoczka's kindergarten teacher encourages him to draw his family, which includes a mother and father. Jarrett's family, on the other hand, is far more complicated. His mother is a recovering addict who comes and goes from Jarrett's life. Jarrett's father is an enigma; he has no idea where he is or even what his name is. Jarrett lives with his grandparents, who are two extremely noisy, very loving, and very opinionated individuals who felt they were done raising children until Jarrett arrived.
Jarrett spends his childhood attempting to make his abnormal life as normal as possible, finding a means to express himself through drawing despite the fact that he is told very little about what is going on. Jarrett can only begin to piece together the reality about his family as a teenager, confronting his mother and tracking out his father.
All Your Twisted Secrets by Diana Urban

Quote: "Welcome to dinner, and again, congratulations on being selected. Now you must do the selecting."
Short Summary: What do a queen bee, a top athlete, a valedictorian, a stoner, an outcast, and a music geek have in common? They'd all been invited to a scholarship dinner, but it turned out to be a set-up. They've been confined in a room with a bomb, a syringe full of poison, and a note telling them they have an hour to chose someone to kill... or everyone will die.
This is a thrilling and gripping novel with constantly high stakes and a plot that never lets go until the very last page. A tantalizing idea sets the stage for a novel that keeps you guessing and on the lookout for the tiniest clues across two timeframes, all leading up to an enormous bombshell of a shock at the conclusion.

Summary:
Let's play a game.
You have 24 hours to win. If you break my rules, she dies. If you call the police, she dies. If you tell your parents or anyone else, she dies.
Are you ready?
When Crystal Donavan gets a message on a mysterious app with a video of her little sister gagged and bound, she agrees to play the kidnapper's game. At first, they make her complete bizarre tasks: steal a test and stuff it in a locker, bake brownies, make a prank call.
But then Crystal realizes each task is meant to hurt--and kill--her friends, one by one. But if she refuses to play, the kidnapper will kill her sister. Is someone trying to take her team out of the running for a gaming tournament? Or have they uncovered a secret from their past, and wants them to pay for what they did...
As Crystal makes the impossible choices between her friends and her sister, she must uncover the truth and find a way to outplay the kidnapper... before it's too late.

Summary:
Pay close attention and you might solve this.
On Monday afternoon, five students at Bayview High walk into detention.
Bronwyn, the brain, is Yale-bound and never breaks a rule.
Addy, the beauty, is the picture-perfect homecoming princess.
Nate, the criminal, is already on probation for dealing.
Cooper, the athlete, is the all-star baseball pitcher.
And Simon, the outcast, is the creator of Bayview High's notorious gossip app.
Only, Simon never makes it out of that classroom. Before the end of detention Simon's dead. And according to investigators, his death wasn't an accident. On Monday, he died. But on Tuesday, he'd planned to post juicy reveals about all four of his high-profile classmates, which makes all four of them suspects in his murder. Or are they the perfect patsies for a killer who's still on the loose?
Everyone has secrets, right? What really matters is how far you would go to protect them.

Summary:
Everyone in Fairview knows the story.

But she can't shake the feeling that there was more to what happened that day. She knew Sal when she was a child, and he was always so kind to her. How could he possibly have been a killer?
Now a senior herself, Pip decides to reexamine the closed case for her final project, at first just to cast doubt on the original investigation. But soon she discovers a trail of dark secrets that might actually prove Sal innocent . . . and the line between past and present begins to blur. Someone in Fairview doesn't want Pip digging around for answers, and now her own life might be in danger.
