Looking for Alaska

Looking for Alaska by John Green
Teen Zone Fiction - Main Level - GREEN


This is the story of a group of kids at boarding school who become close friends. Alaska is an impulsive, beautiful, and unpredictable teen girl. Her sidekicks include Miles (called "Pudge"), Miles' roommate Chip (called "The Colonel"), a girl named Lara, and another boy named Takumi. They spend their free time experimenting with everything the school forbids (such as cigarettes and alcohol), and they love to prank their enemies. When tragedy falls on the group, they have to re-examine the limits of loyalty and honor. This is gritty, explicit, and intense, so I recommend it to mature, older teens and adults.
