> The novels by American John Green are worth considering for Y10. Looking
> for Alaska, Paper Towns and one other whose title escapes me but has
>  Katherine in the title. Although the main character is always male there is
> always a secondary character, whom the male is attracted to, who is a
> strong, independent female. Paper Towns in particular.
