Looking For Alaska

Looking for Alaska follows Miles “Pudge” Halter, whose life takes a pivotal turn when he leaves his public school in Florida to attend Culver Creek, a private boarding school in Alabama, in search of a “Great Perhaps,” inspired by the last words of poet François Rabelais. At Culver Creek, Miles meets Alaska Young, a beautiful and emotionally complex young woman who captivates him and becomes the center of his affection. His life grows more vibrant with a prankster roommate, two close male friends, and a cast of unique characters, each contributing to his personal growth. However, Miles soon learns that life is not only about happiness, as he navigates loss, heartbreak, and the challenges of growing up. John Green’s engaging prose, memorable characters, and sharp dialogue make this a compelling coming-of-age story about love, friendship, and the journey to find one’s “Great Perhaps.” Born on August 24, 1977, John Green is a celebrated author of young adult fiction, winner of the 2006 Printz Award for his debut novel Looking for Alaska, and recognized for The Fault in Our Stars as a New York Times bestseller. Alongside his brother Hank Green, he co-founded the VlogBrothers channel and organized events like VidCon and Project for Awesome, further influencing young readers worldwide.
