The first half of the novel seems straightforward in its shaping of the conventional mystery - a missing billionaire, the murky water, a mansion full of secrets, trails and dead ends. In their search for Russell, Aza finds herself falling for Davis, who is troubled now that both of his parents are gone. Daisy just so happens to remember that Aza met Russell’s son Davis nine years ago at “Sad Camp,” a summer program for kids who’d lost one or both of their parents, when Aza had lost her father and Davis his mother. Alongside her best friend Daisy, Aza searches for Russell Pickett (a billionaire who has disappeared after accusations of fraud and bribery) in hopes of receiving the $100,000 reward. Five years after the successful publication of “The Fault in Our Stars,” John Green releases his new young adult novel “Turtles All the Way Down.” The story is a true representation of the teen fiction genre, with an angsty teenage narrator, a love interest, and of course, a quirky best friend.Īza Holmes, age 16, is a troubled Indianapolis teenager who begins her journey following a mystery.
