Looking for Alaska
“Narrator Wil Wheaton treats John Green’s characters with the respect they deserve in this new audio edition of the 2006 Printz Award-winning novel…Each character shines in Wheaton’s portrayal—from the deadpan Miles to the gruffly wise religion teacher to shy Romanian immigrant Lara to Alaska herself, with her brash, larger-than-life vivacity. The dialogue crackles with snark and aching earnestness as the characters struggle to cope with life before and after a terrible tragedy.”

Last words.
Miles Halter is fascinated by famous last words—and tired of his safe life at home. He leaves for boarding school to seek what the dying poet François Rabelais called the “Great Perhaps.” Much awaits Miles at Culver Creek, including Alaska Young, who will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the Great Perhaps.
Looking for Alaska brilliantly chronicles the indelible impact one life can have on another. A modern classic, this stunning debut marked #1 bestselling author John Green’s arrival as a groundbreaking new voice in contemporary fiction.
