The Fault in Our Stars
In August 2009, Green announced he was writing a new book entitled "The Sequel", which was later scrapped. His sixth book, "The Fault in Our Stars", was released in January 2012. He crafted the novel by collaborating with Dutton editor Julie Strauss-Gabel. Green explained that several parts of "The Sequel" were reworked into "The Fault in Our Stars". Green signed all 150,000 copies of the first printing and his wife and his brother applied their own symbols, a Yeti and an Anglerfish (known as the "Hanklerfish"), respectively. "The New York Times" Best Seller list for children's books listed "The Fault in Our Stars" at number one for two weeks in January and February 2012. The novel has been made into a major motion picture of the same name, released in the United States on June 6, 2014. Green filmed a cameo role for the movie that was not included in the final cut of the film.
