The question is "What if you only had one year to live..and you knew it?" Crutcher displays a deep and meaningful story about a teenage boy faced with a dilemma...death. Ben doesn't look at his dilemma and cringe, instead he takes it and makes something out of it. While keeping it a secret from everyone, he goes into his last year of high shcool a different person, taking chances and risk he will never get to experience again. In the end, Ben Wolf wil have made his mark.

I'm sorry to say, but this needs more work: on the plot description and analysis of the book.
