The book was good but sad at the end.

Annie Marlow has been through the worst. Rocked by tragedy, she heads to the one place that makes her happy: Oceanside in the Pacific Northwest, the destination of many family vacations when Annie was a teenager.

Stanley Yelnats, a boy who has bad luck due to a cure placed on his great-great-grandfather, is sent to camp green lake, a juvenile detention camp, for a crime he did not commit. Stanley and the other boys at the camp are forced to dig holes in the dirt every day.

I recommend this book. It is set in the 1950's and is about a Chinese girl adopted at 3 years old into a white family. The story is told from the point of view of the girl and is about her struggle to fit in. There is prejudice that she has to deal with. It was interesting and I enjoyed it.

I like the book because the pictures tell a lot about the story. Raina is not afraid to do things and figures it out at the end of the story.

Quick read, several stories complied. Quaint village cozy mystery.

Looking for Alaska was one of my favorites when I first read it back in high school. Now a college graduate, and I wanted to see how it would hold up. There were still many things to love about this story. It's easy to read, has likeable characters, and is a fairly straight forward plot that does try to tackle some of life's deeper questions. From a slightly more mature perspective, I question these characters and their actions a little bit more than I did several years ago, but I still think it's worth a read, especially if you have never read any other John Green books before.

That book dragged in the beginning but I continued on.the ending was sad but expected
