Read about another book on the list.Deadline, by Chris Crutcher
One of Crutcher’s proudest accomplishments, according to his website, is being one of the most frequently banned authors in North America. Deadline is one of his oft-challenged books, in which Ben Wolf finds out in his senior year of high school that he has one year to live, and decides to keep that fact a secret while living the life he has left to the fullest. Even cancer, bipolar disorder, a right-wing U.S. government teacher, and a child molester don’t keep the laughs from coming.
