Looking for Alaska by John Green

This is the story of Miles (Pudge) who goes off to Boarding school in Alabama and quickly joins a tight knit group of friends - his roomate Chip (The Colonel), a Japanese boy Takumi, and Alaska a smart impulsive girl who loves to read.  The chapters of the novel are headed by a number of days "before" and "after" so you know that an "event" is coming when you are in the 'before' section.  This is an outstanding coming-of-age novel
