I loved this book!
Miles decides that it is time to do something interesting . . . so he leaves behind his geekiness and starts over at a boarding school. There he meets the Colonel, his tough as nails, funny as hell, roommate, and Alaska, a brilliant and beautiful, but troubled, girl. His new friends introduce him to a number of new experiences -- smoking, drinking, sex, and, most important, the ultimate PRANK. However, a great tragedy leaves Miles wondering what life is really worth.
This book is NOT appropriate for freshmen; there is a lot of inappropriate language and some graphic descriptions of "more than kissing." But, I think this would be cool summer read or SSR recommendation for juniors or seniors. In fact, a number of my juniors are reading it now. I'll let you know what they think.
