Description: The first of two books, Denton Little's Death Date is an utterly gripping read - with a killer plot twist, hilarious characters, and a truly memorable voice Imminent death has never been so funny! Denton Little's Death Date 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 death date, Denton has always wanted to live a normal life, but his final days are filled with dramatic firsts. First hangover. First sex.
