John Green’s latest book is headed to the big screen.

Published in October by Dutton Books, Turtles All the Way Down centers on a 16-year-old girl who struggles with obsessive-compulsive disorder and sets out to locate a missing billionaire.

He added that he hopes to avoid “the old tropes that are usually associated with portrayals of OCD” in the planned adaptation.

“We’re gonna give it a try,” Green said. “That doesn’t mean there will definitely be a movie, but it means that there might be one. … I’m really excited for the opportunity, and also the challenge, of the Turtles All the Way Down movie, and I hope you’re excited too.”
