John Green's Faulty, Rising Star

Author John Green has been writing young adult novels since 2005, when he published his first book "Looking for Alaska," but it was the smash success of his #1 New York Times bestselling novel "The Fault in Our Stars" in early 2012 that cemented his mainstream status. Green's books have won the Michael L. Printz Award, Teen Book of the Year from the Children's Choice Book Awards and the mystery genre's prestigious Edgar Award for Best Young Adult Mystery. Earlier this year, he and his brother Hank sold out New York City's Carnegie Hall for the one-year celebration of the release of "The Fault in Our Stars," thanks to his dedicated fan base. In addition to his books, it's Green's personal videos and blog posts that endear him to his "nerdfighters" (as he calls his fans).
