Deadline!!

I am reading Deadline by Chris Crutcher. So far, I really like this book. It is a book that I do not want to put down. This is actually a book that I could just keep reading and finish it. So far, the main character, Ben Wolf, is an interesting person. Through out high school, he has been on the cross country team and since the doctor told him he only had a year to live, he wanted to “go out with a bang”. So, he decided to quite cross country and go out for the football team. The author describes him as a scrawny little thing. He is a fast runner though, so he is good at football. His younger brother also plays football, but they are actually in the same grade because his mom held him back a year. His younger brother likes having Ben on the football team because they were so use to playing football together through out there entire life. His brother wants to play college football, but only thinks he could play if Ben was on the team also. They live in a small town which I can relate to because grew up in a small town. I can not wait to finish this book.
