Significance of the title:
In the beginning, the before, Alaska was already mysterious enough. But after she leaves everyone all mixed up about her life and reasons of why she left. And that's why they're looking for her.

Why this book is important.
This book is not only about the life of teams being influenced by the modern culture, but has much more significance. It is important because drugs have become much more common occurrence with teens. It is also important because people take other people for granted and never realize how much someone means to them till they're gone.
