Miles is looking for the Great Perhaps--and an Alabama boarding school offers the possibility of finding it, especially after he meets the charming, unpredictable, and utterly alive Alaska. Miles is captivated by Alaska's beauty and her intelligence. In a year that unfolds with pranks and surprises, Miles must ultimately come to terms with some of life's biggest questions: why are we here? After a tragedy, how can we possibly keep faith that life is worth living?
Appeals: Funny, smart, and deals with romance and friendship. Looking for Alaska also manages to get the reader thinking about deep questions about life and our existence... without being pedantic! Simple and thought provoking.
