Get ready to die laughing: this is an outrageously funny ride through the last hours of a teenager s life as he searches for love, meaning, answers, and (just maybe) a way to live on.
"Denton Little s Deathdate" takes place in a world exactly like our own except that everyone knows the day on which they will die. For Denton, that s in just two days the day of his senior prom.
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 triangle as the first sex seems to have happened not with his adoring girlfriend, but with his best friend s hostile sister. (Though he s not totally sure 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 Denton s long-deceased mother, and warning him to beware of suspicious government characters. . . . Suddenly Denton s life is filled with mysterious questions and precious little time to find the answers.
