Gr 7 Up-Through letters, journal entries, blog posts, stories, poems, and drawings, readers get to know the life and times of Esther Grace Earl, the young woman to whom John Green dedicated The Fault in Our Stars (Penguin, 2012). Although she died from cancer in 2010 at only 16, Esther (known affectionately as "Star" by her family) was a prolific writer, a "nerdfighter," a "Harry Potter" enthusiast, and a deeply spiritual person. She inspired-and continues to inspire-several online communities and a dedicated Internet fan base. This unique title will be appreciated by fans of John Green and those looking for an uplifting and emotional tear-jerker.-Kiera Parrott, School Library Journal

John Green dedicated The Fault in Our Stars to Esther Earl, who, in her own words, "went through a life changing experience known as Thyroid Cancer." This posthumous collection (with a moving introduction by Green) gathers her musings and drawings, which span her illness. Reflections by family and friends both before and after her death at sixteen are also included. An ultimately hopeful offering.(Copyright 2014 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
