    John Green's first novel, Looking for Alaska, won the Michael L. Printz Award for excellence in young adult literature. His second novel, An Abundance of Katherines, was a Printz honor book. Along with his brother Hank, Green started a video blog called Brotherhood 2.0, which has grown into a vibrant internet community of self-professed ''nerdfighters.'' A starred School Library Journal review of Green's latest book, the New York Times Best Seller Paper Towns finds, ''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.''

    John Green presents from the Target Children's Stage.
