Looking for Alaska is John Green’s debut YA novel, following Miles “Pudge” Halter as he leaves for Culver Creek Boarding School to find his “Great Perhaps”. He falls for the enigmatic Alaska Young, a troubled, brilliant girl who changes his life before a sudden tragedy forces him to navigate grief and the complexity of loss.
First drink. First prank. First friend. First love. Last words.
Before. Miles “Pudge” Halter is done with his safe life at home. His whole life has been one big non-event, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave “the Great Perhaps” even more (Francois Rabelais, poet). He heads off to the sometimes crazy and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young. She is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart. Then. . . .
After. Nothing is ever the same.
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.
