Bann Green's Looking For Alaska, By John Green

John Green wrote many of books Fault In Our Stars, Paper Towns and Turtles All The Way Down, but his most controversial book was Looking For Alaska. Looking For Alaska has been censored by many schools, libraries and parents. Parents, schools and libraries all thought Looking For Alaska had too much sexual content, influencing drinking and driving, and not be able to speak up when it is wrong, but teens should be able to read this book since it shows real teen experiences through the eyes of Miles.
While Miles always started off as a non-talking character, he was an only child coming from a school where he had no friends. Coming to Culver Creek, in Alabama from Florida, was his choice, his parents did not want him to leave since he was the
Colonial approved since it was a tradition, but weekday warriors went to far almost drowning Miles by throwing him in the pond duct taped; While Colonial knew about this prank, but he was not okay with duct tape, this made him upset and wanted to get back at them. Miles, Colonial, Alaska, Lara and Takumi went out and tried to pull a prank on them. They went to the woods, camped out and waited. Lara and Miles hit it off and started making out but it did not go far.

They might be able to speak up to something that is wrong and help many others going through teenage like Alaska did to Miles throughout this
