In Looking for Alaska, John Green’s debut novel, his hero Miles Cavalry meets the beautiful and charming Alaska Young at his new Prep School and begins a journey to discover the “Great Perhaps” of life. There's a lot in there about famous last words, so if that gets you thinking, take a look at this website John links to on his blog about last words.
John won the Michael L. Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature for Looking for Alaska in 2006. The following year, his second novel An Abundance of Katherines was a Printz Award Honor Book and a teen fiction superstar was born!
Check out John's website Sparks Fly Up which keeps fans up to date on his adventures and features his very entertaining blog about books, politics and the rest of life. His newest book, Paper Town is due to be published this October.
