Blog Post #1: Library Book

The book I am reading is "Deadline" by Chris Crutcher. By looking at the cover, I see the words "What if you only had one year to live...and you knew it?" When I read this I thought it might have been that he was dreaming and had thought that he was about to die, the is a boy that is upside down on the cover.

But after I read it, I realized that the character named Ben Wolf was diagnosed with a diesease that will kill him. He didn't want to tell his parents because he wanted to live his life normally. He decided try out for football, even if it means it can seriously hurt him. That is what I have read so far.
