January Teen Book Club/Looking for Alaska

Did you love The Fault in Our Stars by John Green?  Then don't forget to sign up for January's Teen Book Discussion Club, because this month we're reading Green's Looking for Alaska.  Currently number four on the New York Times Young Adult Best Sellers List, Looking for Alaska tells the story of Miles “Pudge” Halter.  Miles is done with his safe life at home, feeling his whole life has been one big non-event.  Craving adventure, he heads off to the sometimes crazy and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young.  She is an event unto herself.  She pulls Miles into her world and then steals his heart. And after that, nothing is ever the same.

Looking for Alaska was the winner of the Michael L. Printz Award, and American Library Assocation Best Book for Young Adults, a Los Angeles Times 2005 Book Prize Finalist, a 2005 Booklist Editor's Choice, and a 2005 School Library Journal's Best Best Book of the Year.
