A boarding-school search shaped by first experiences

Miles Halter’s fascination with famous last words gives this young adult novel a distinctive point of departure. Tired of the safety of home, he leaves for boarding school, where the source frames the story around friendship, pranks, romance, and the questions attached to last words.

  • Readers interested in stories that bring questions about mortality into a teenage setting
