Before. Miles “Pudge” Halter's whole life has been one big non-event. Then he heads off to the sometimes crazy, possibly unstable, and anything-butboring 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 pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into a new life, and steals his heart. After. Nothing is ever the same. The Printz Award—winning modern classic is now available in the successful Premium Edition format with a bonus reading guide and a letter from John Green.
Winner of the 2006 Michael L. Printz Award

“Green…has
a writer’s voice, so self-assured and honest that one is startled to
learn that this novel is his first. The anticipated favorable
comparisons to Holden Caufield are richly deserved in this highly
recommended addition to young adult literature.”
-VOYA
“Like
Phineas in John Knowles’ “A Separate Peace,” Green draws Alaska so
lovingly, in self-loathing darkness as well as energetic light, that
readers mourn her loss along with her friends.”
-School Library Journal, Starred Review
“The spirit of Holden Caulfield lives on.”
