Usually it's pretty easy to find your home when you're a teenager: It's the same place your parents live, and chances are decent you've lived there all your life. But when Margo Roth Spiegelman asks Siri to give her directions home, her smartphone is stumped. Why? Well, in Paper Towns, Margo doesn't feel at home at home.
