Green, John. (2012). The fault in our stars. New York. Dutton Books.
Hazel Grace is a teenage girl with cancer.  While at support group she meets a boy, Augustus, who also has cancer.  Augustus uses his wish to take Hazel to Amsterdam to meet the author of the book that started their friendship.  When they get back home Augustus cancer comes back.  Hazel stays with him until the end.  At the end Hazel gets the eulogy Augustus wrote and sent to Van Houten.  I think this book would be a good read for high school students since Hazel and Augustus are high school aged.  I think that characters in this story make this story.  I was drawn to these two and felt like I was going along in their journey also.
