Winner of the 2006 Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature
Description from Goodreads: "Before: Miles 'Pudge' Halter's whole existence has been one big non-event. He heads off to the sometimes crazy, possibly unstable, 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, who is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world and steals his heart. After: Nothing is ever the same."
Here's John Green talking very quickly about this novel, how novels get written and published, and winning the Printz.
