This particular book now has dual numbers. This book has been numbered as Book #604 in Howard County, Maryland and is Book #0002 in the IMCPL system. If you come across this book you can now register and track it in both places!

I really loved this book. It’s really good. I love the way they memorialize Alaska with the last prank. It’s full of lighthearted love and deep secrets. I love it!

I really like this program. It’s interesting to see how far the books have travled and how many people have read it. I’m just a bit dissapointed that there are only three different books.

I’m a web developer at IMCPL and I’m giving the Pass The Book website a soft launch. I’ll be passing on my copy of Looking for Alaska soon. Can’t wait to see how this works out.


Looking for Alaska is composed of two parts. Before and After, this makes the reader wonder what it signifies from the very first page. It focuses on a new beginning for a fifteen-year-old named Miles who is obsessed with famous last words. His obsession drives him to follow his fathers` footsteps and enroll in a boarding school in Alabama where he will meet people who will change his life.


Culver Creek Boarding School is meant to be Miles Halter’s “great perhaps” (famous last words of François Rabelais), but it turns out to be much more than he could ever dream. He meets a ragtag bunch of characters of which the most compelling is Alaska Young. He becomes intrigued and infatuated with her for her beauty and rebellious plots to undermine authority and the social elite of the school. The events that shape John Green’s first novel will leave an imprint that does not fade quickly.
