As the story progress, he tries to unfold clues he thinks Margo intentionally left for him when she went missing. 2.) Margo Roth Spiegelman – Margo is Quentin’s childhood friend/neighbor who runs away from home. She was pursued by Q. She thinks planning out adventures is more fun than doing them. She was one of the popular kids in school before she ran away. 3.) Marcus “Radar” Lincoln – He is one of Q’s best friends. He maintains a website called Omnictionary (which is very similar to Wikipedia). His parents own the largest collection of Black Santas. He assists Quentin in the search for Margo. 4.) Lacey Pemberton – She’s been Margo’s best friend since kindergarten. Margo felt that Lacey had been very undermining throughout their entire friendship. She is also involved with searching for Margo. 5.) Ben Starling – Another one of Q’s best friends who helps in looking for Margo. He becomes Lacey Pemberton’s boyfriend.
Summary:
“Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life—dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge— he follows. After their all-nighter ends, and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues— and they’re for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees the girl he thought he knew.”
