Sixteen-year-old Miles' first year at Culver Creek Preparatory School in Alabama includes good friends and great pranks, but is defined by the search for answers about life and death after a fatal car crash.
"Cansado de su aburrida existencia, Miles, de 16 años, se muda a un colegio internado para ir en busca de lo que el poeta Rabelais llamó 'Gran quizá.' Ahí su recién descubierta libertad y una enigmática chica, Alaska, lo lanzan de lleno a la vida. Cuando Miles siente que está por alcanzar su objectivo, una tragedia inesperada amenaza con arrebatárselo"--P. [4] of cover.

Work Description
Before. Miles “Pudge” Halter is done with his safe life at home. His whole life has been one big non-event, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave “the Great Perhaps” even more (Francois Rabelais, poet). 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 Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart. Then. . . .
After. Nothing is ever the same.
