We discuss Looking for Alaska by John Green, which was the fifth-most-challenged book in 2022. First published in 2005, Green’s debut novel won the Michael L. Printz Award in 2006. A miniseries based on the book was released on Hulu in 2019.
In this episode, we discuss why Looking for Alaska has been banned. We also offer our assessment of its pros and cons. Please listen to our eighteenth episode for a close reading of the book's characters, themes, and significance.
