Looking for Alaska

Author: John Green

Miles “Pudge” Halter’s mundane life takes an exhilarating turn when he enrolls at Culver Creek Preparatory School. There, he meets the enigmatic Alaska Young, whose wild spirit and unpredictable nature captivate him instantly. As Pudge navigates friendship, first love, and the complexities of adolescence, he’s drawn into Alaska’s world of mischief and deep philosophical musings. But when tragedy strikes, Pudge must confront the fragility of life and the power of memory. Green’s poignant storytelling left me pondering the meaning of it all long after I turned the final page.

I go to seek a Great Perhaps.
