Miles "Pudge" Halter wants out of his boring life in Florida, so he decides to see out his "Great Perhaps" by enrolling in and attending Culver Creek Boarding School, a fancy private school. His life immediately shifts from safe and predictable to dangerous and crazy. The people he meets along the way make his new life even more exciting: the Colonel (his sarcastic, chain-smoking roommate) and Alaska Young (the most gorgeous, self-destructive girl he has ever met). His new life might be unstable but Pudge was enjoying the change until...well, then, after everything was different. This new life was worse than he could imagine. This book contains some mature content.
