De titel van het eerste boek is: Looking for alaska en is geschreven door John Green.
Ik heb al inmens veel over dit boek gehoord dat het een aanrader is.
Eenmaal je in het boek aan het lezen bent slorpt het je als het ware op.
Engelse achterflaptekst: Miles, tired of his
friendless, dull life in Florida, convinces his parents to send him away to
boarding school in Alabama so that he can seek "the Great Perhaps."
There he meets his roommate and soon-to-be best friend, Chip, called the
Colonel, and Alaska Young, the moody, gorgeous, wild girl who instantly becomes
the object of his lust. Miles is quickly enlisted in their war against the
Weekday Warriors, the rich kids who go home every weekend, and they bond over
elaborate pranks, studying, and assorted rule-breaking. About halfway
through the book a tragedy occurs, and those left spend the rest of the book
trying to make sense of it, to solve the mystery it leaves behind, and to pull
off one last, greatest-ever prank.
Het tweede boek heet: The perks of being a wallflower van Stephen Chbosky.

Engelse achterflaptekst: After his friend commits
suicide, smart misfit Charlie is trying to learn to "participate" in
life. He befriends a group of interesting older kids who introduce him to
partying, but also respect his sensitivity. In letters that Charlie writes to
an anonymous stranger, he talks about his family, his friends, and his
complicated, often overwhelming, feelings about growing up. Eventually, his longtime
crush tells him that he "can't just sit there and put everybody's life
ahead of yours and think that counts as love" and he slowly learns to be
present in his life.
