The Fault in Our
Stars vs Inside Out and Back Again
As much as I appreciated “Inside Out and Back Again” (and am
not surprised by the recognition it has received), the story and the manner in
which it was shared, there is no question though that the novel I wish to see
advance is “The Fault in Our Stars”. It is a novel that engaged me from the
start, made me laugh out loud, shed some tears and reflect a bit about life. I
began reading the book one morning before the start of the school day and ended
up finishing it later that night at home. I have since book talked the novel to
the language arts classes I teach and a few of the students have already
completed reading it was well. The students have loved the book, have gone on
to recommend it to their family and friends and are now interested in reading
other novels by John Green. Our conversations about the book – the characters
and the story – have been rich and animated.
My vote: The Fault in Our StarsZombie Pick: Raven Boys
