Deadline by Chris Crutcher

What would you do if you found out you had a terminal disease, that treatment might extend your life by a bit but it would make you miserable? That is the question that high school senior Ben Wolf faces, and he chooses to not only opt out of treatment, but also to not tell anyone he has the disease so he can live his last year in a "normal" way. Ben's last year is anything but normal and I enjoyed following his escapades and struggles and sharing in the lessons he learned before passing.
