First drink. First prank. First friend. First love.

Last words.

Miles Halter is fascinated by famous last words--and tired of his safe life at home. He leaves for boarding school to seek what the dying poet Fran ois Rabelais called "The Great Perhaps." Much awaits Miles at Culver Creek, including Alaska Young, who will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the Great Perhaps.

Looking for Alaska brilliantly chronicles the indelible impact one life can have on another. A modern classic, this stunning debut marked #1 bestselling author John Green's arrival as a groundbreaking new voice in contemporary fiction.

Looking for Alaska

Jane B. - 4 years ago

It was pretty true to life for some. Back in the late sixties-seventies, life was like this for some. Great book!

I found about John Green in middle school and have read almost all his books, but this one is my favorite. The unique set up of the book and the interesting characters drew me in and now that I am in college, I'd like to re-read it. I can definitely see why this won an award! #SpringPicks

I first read this a couple of years ago after I picked it up in a library donation bin and while it did take me a while to get into at first, the story was really fast-paced and quickly became one of my favorites. It's heart wrenchingly sad, yet such an incredible book you can't help but keep coming back to it. I will say though, I've had a lot of people say that this book can be a bit heavy, so make sure you're in the right state of mind :) #SpringPicks

My favorite John Green book

This is my top favorite John Green book. It's a great coming of age story and learning to find yourself. Each chapter gets closer and closer to something, but you aren't sure what it will be. That definitely made me not want to put the book down! #BannedBook
