LOOKING FOR ALASKA (English, Paperback, John Green)
When Miles Halter leaves his home for boarding school, he expects that he’ll find a change from the sedentary life he grew tired of. He takes the words of Francois Rabelais’ “the Great Perhaps” to heart, as well as the words of other great thinkers, and hopes to find something that will change his life. He has no idea how much of that change is about to come from a girl he is about to meet at Culver Creek. Alaska is a sprightly young girl, fascinating and smart. She draws him into her life and sets him on the course to finding Rabelais’ goal. She tears apart his inhibitions and steals his heart. Only then does he understand that once he ventured into the Great Perhaps, there’s no looking back.
