Looking for Alaska

Green John

Miles Halter is fascinated by the last words of famous people ... and he is tired of the safe life in his home. He leaves for a boarding school for Culver Creek in search of what the dying poet François Rabelais called the Great Perhaps. Many are waiting for Miles there, including Alaska Young. Intelligent, funny, confused and deadly sexy, Alaska will drag Miles into its maze and throw him into the Big Maybe. "Searching for Alaska" uniquely captures the indelible effect that one life can have on another. Having been honored with a number of literary awards, this amazing book marked the arrival of John Green as a groundbreaking new voice in the field of contemporary literature.
