Eine wie Alaska

Miles has switched schools. At the boarding school, he falls for the beautiful Alaska. She is the center of her own solar system, the magical focal point of the school. Those who orbit around her are both happy and vulnerable, euphoric yet always on the brink of expulsion. Alaska loves poetry, late-night discussions about philosophical absurdities, sneaking cigarettes in the woods, and true love. Miles is both fascinated and overwhelmed. It’s clear that behind this crazy, exuberant exterior lies something soft and fragile. Who is Alaska really?

With grace and humor, full of self-irony and charm, Green tells the moving story of Miles, in whose life love strikes like a bomb.
