## About this book

Miles Halter leaves his predictable home life for Culver Creek boarding school, driven by a fascination with famous last words and a hunger for what the poet François Rabelais called “The Great Perhaps.” This Young Adult Fiction novel, *Looking for Alaska*, introduces readers to a boy seeking meaning beyond his safe routine, only to be caught up in a reckless, brilliant world of first pranks, first friendships, and intense self-discovery.

At the center of that world is Alaska Young, a charismatic, self-destructive force who pulls Miles deep into her labyrinth. Navigating adolescent friendships, self-esteem, and the raw edges of social themes, the book builds toward a sudden event that reshapes everyone left behind. John Green’s award-winning debut plumbs grief and bereavement with an honesty that makes *Looking for Alaska* a defining volume about the unmarked paths of survival and self-reliance.
