Looking for Alaska by John Green

Looking for Alaska is John Green’s debut novel, a coming-of-age story about friendship, first love and loss. Miles Halter, a teenager obsessed with famous last words, leaves his quiet, lonely life behind for Culver Creek boarding school, hoping to find the ‘Great Perhaps’ that the poet Rabelais spoke of.

There he meets the brilliant, funny and troubled Alaska Young, who pulls him into a world of pranks, late-night talks and big questions. Moving and thoughtful, it explores how one person can change another forever, and suits older teens and adult readers of contemporary fiction.
