    wonderful book by John Green which is titled ‘Looking For Alaska’. The book is about a boy who is new to a boarding school; where he meets new friends and goes to “seek the Great Perhaps”.

    I recently finished reading your book called Looking For Alaska. After conducting research‚ I am aware that various schools have challenged whether or not the book is appropriate to keep in school libraries.
