Annotation:
For as long as he can remember, Quentin (known to all as "Q") has admired--and perhaps even loved--his glamorous and popular neighbor Margo Roth Spiegelman. "Q" is devastated when, a month before their high school graduation, Margo takes him out for a midnight adventure and then mysteriously disappears. Working from a series of clues that the enigmatic Margo might have left behind for him, "Q" enlists the help of his two "band geek" pals, Ben and Radar, as well as Margo's friend Lacey, to discover what has become of their missing classmate. However, as they start to work out Margo's physical location, they all come to realize that the real Margo--and the depth of her unhappiness--is a mystery to them all. A 2008 Edgar Award Nominee in the Best Young Adult category.

Praise
"Green's latest ode to suburban disconnect, feminine inscrutability, and the euphoria of seizing the moment opens with a dusk-'til-dawn spree of inventive mischief and ends with a snort-milk-out-your-nose-hilarious road trip."
09/01/2008
"A suspenseful mystery, a compelling central metaphor, and one of those road trips that every senior hopes he or she will have round out this exploration of the kind of relationship that can't help but each us a little bit about ourselves."
