Debutový román Kam zmizla Aljaška, za ktorý autor získal cenu Printze Award. Miles má bizarnú záľubu v posledných slovách svetových osobností. Najviac ho fascinuje Francois Rabelais a jeho posledná veta: „Idem hľadať to Veľké Azda." Miles si nechce počkať na podobný osud a presvedčí rodičov, nech ho pošlú do internátnej školy mimo mesta. V Alabame si rýchlo nájde nových priateľov: spolubývajúceho Chipa, ktorého všetci volajú Plukovník a ktorý vo voľných chvíľach memoruje nekonečné abecedné zoznamy, i krásnu, ale nepredvídateľnú Aljašku, do ktorej sa zamiluje. Čaká ich rok plný porušovania školského poriadku, testov a skúšok, žartíkov, rozchodov a odhalených tajomstiev. Čo zmení Milesov názor na jeho „Veľké Azda"?
