Denton Little's Deathdate (Denton Little Series)

**WINNER of the ILA Young Adult Book Award!**

Get ready to die laughing: this is an outrageously funny ride through the last hours of a teenagerâ‚¬s life as he searches for love, meaning, answers, and (just maybe) a way to live on.
Â
Denton Littleâ‚¬s Deathdate takes place in a world exactly like our own except that everyone knows the day on which they will die. For Denton, thatâ‚¬s in just two daysâ‚¬"the day of his senior prom.
Â
Despite his early deathdate, Denton has always wanted to live a normal life, but his final days are filled with dramatic firsts. First hangover. First sex. First love triangleâ‚¬"as the first sex seems to have happened not with his adoring girlfriend, but with his best friendâ‚¬s hostile sister. (Though heâ‚¬s not totally sureâ‚¬"see, first hangover.) His anxiety builds when he discovers a strange purple rash making its way up his body. Is this what will kill him? And then a strange man shows up at his funeral, claiming to have known Dentonâ‚¬s long-deceased mother, and warning him to beware of suspicious government characters. . . . Suddenly Dentonâ‚¬s life is filled with mysterious questions and precious little time to find the answers.
