Deadline
By Chris Crutcher
After being diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia, 18-year-old Ben Wolf elects to forgo treatment and keep his illness secret from his family and friends in an attempt to have a "normal" senior year at his small Idaho high school. He doesn’t reveal his condition to his parents, his brother, Cody, or his stunning crush, Dallas Suzuki. Free from long-term consequences, he connects with his crush, frustrates his biased U.S. Government teacher, and tries out for football. Events lead Ben far from his plan to live normally. On his way to death, Ben learns about life, relationships, and the truth. Visit Chris Crutcher’s official website. Book jacket image and book description courtesy HarperCollins.
