Additional text Praise and awards for Looking for Alaska: "What sings and soars in this gorgeously told tale is Green's mastery of language and the sweet, rough edges of Pudge's voice. Girls will cry and boys will find love, lust, loss, and longing in Alaska's vanilla-and-cigarette scent." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Alive with sweet, self-deprecating humor... like Phineas in John Knowles's A Separate Peace, Green draws Alaska so lovingly, in self-loathing darkness as energetic light." - School Library Journal, starred review "Miles is an articulate spokesperson for the legions of teens searching for life's meaning." - BCCB, starred review "Readers will only hope that this is not the last word from this promising new author.".
