Katherine V thought boys were gross
Katherine X just wanted to be friends
Katherine XVIII dumped him in an e-mail
K-19 broke his heart
When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type happens to be girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact.

On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty feral hog on his trail, and an overweight, Judge Judy-loving best friend riding shotgun--but no Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl.

Love, friendship, and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke add up to surprising and heart-changing conclusions in this ingeniously layered comic novel about reinventing oneself.

This was an amazing book. Really all I have to say is there. John Greens books, well all of them are truly amazing beyond words and compare.

This is about a boy named Colin who gets dumped by his girlfriend, Katherine, so he goes on a road trip with his obese Arabic friend Hassan. They stop in Gutshot, Tennessee and stay with a girl named Lindsay and her mother Hollis. This book is amazing.

sort of broing...I didn't finish till the end

This Book was really mature and recommended to older readers, but i guess it was ok

no its for 4th graders

To answer your question, just because the reading level says it's for fourth graders doesn't mean it's appropriate for fourth graders. The reading level is determined on how the author writes it. The target audience, or interest level, is the age that people should read the book.
