Flash forward the age groups represented in [Bridge to Terabithia:] about 5 years, set it in a boarding school and you have [Looking for Alaska:].
The plot progression in the two are almost identical. That's not a slight at all, BTT is one of my favorite youth books ever.

Oh well! Looking for Alaska does have a hilarious scene where the main character sustains a concussion that made me laugh out loud. I can't remember the last book to make me actually laugh.
