Miles Halter is fascinated by famous last words - and tired of his safe‚ boring and rather lonely life at home. He leaves for boarding school filled with cautious optimism‚ to seek what the dying poet Francois Rabelais called the "Great Perhaps." Much awaits Miles at Culver Creek‚ including Alaska Young. Clever‚ funny‚ screwed-up‚ and dead sexy‚ Alaska will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the "Great Perhaps":
"In the dark beside me, she smelled of sweat and sunshine and vanilla, and on that thin-mooned night I could see little more than her silhouette, but even in the dark, I could see her eyes - fierce emeralds. And not just beautiful, but hot too."
Looking for Alaska brilliantly chronicles the indelible impact one life can have on another.
Vivid, passionate, intensely moving and shocking, this is a stunning debut novel by young American author John Green.
