The Fault in Our Stars is a poignant young adult novel that follows the story of Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16-year-old girl battling thyroid cancer that has spread to her lungs.

Her world changes when she attends a cancer support group and meets Augustus Waters, a charming and witty 17-year-old osteosarcoma survivor who has lost a leg to the disease.
