So when she one day climbs through his window and summons him on an all-night road trip of revenge he cannot help but follow. But the next day Margo doesnt come to school and a week later she is still missing. Q soon learns that there are clues in her disappearance . . . and they are for him.

Imagine a hybrid of Scooby Doo and The Catcher in the Rye and you get a little of this novel's flavour * The Financial Times *

 

Green's prose is astounding - from hilarious, hyperintellectual trash talk and shtick, to complex philosophizing, to devastating observation and truths. He nails it - exactly how a thing feels, looks, affects - page after page * School Library Journal *

 

Genuine - and genuinely funny - dialogue, a satisfyingly tangled but not unbelievable mystery and delightful secondary characters * Kirkus Reviews *
