Synopsis

"Denton and his quirky friends are laugh-out-loud funny, even as their riotous adventures raise deeper questions about science, government control, life, and death." -- SLJ

You only live once—unless you’re Denton Little!
 
Denton Little lives in a world exactly like our own except that everyone knows the day on which they will die. The good news: Denton has lived through his deathdate. Yay! The bad news: He’s being chased by the DIA (Death Investigation Agency), he can never see his family again, and he may now die anytime. Huh. Cheating death isn’t quite as awesome as Denton would have thought. . . .
 
Lance Rubin’s debut novel, Denton Little’s Deathdate, showed readers just how funny and poignant imminent death could be. Now in this sequel, he takes on the big questions about life. How do we cope, knowing we could die at any time? Would you save someone from dying even if they were a horrible person? Is it wrong to kiss the girl your best friend is crushing on if she’s really into you instead? What if she’s wearing bacon lip gloss?

Praise for Denton Little’s Deathdate:
 
“Highly original, fantastically entertaining, and laugh-out-loud funny, Denton Little’s Deathdate is a wild romp through a night like no other.” —Jennifer E. Smith, author of The Geography of You and Me
 
“Let’s all pray the grim reaper is even half as witty (and wise) as the deadly talented Lance Rubin. Till then: skip this book at your own peril.” —Tim Federle, author of Better Nate than Ever and The Great American Whatever

“Rubin is really funny, but like John Green, he manages to be poignant. . . . In other words, it’s a keeper.” —Bustle

Goodreads review by Stefani

Strange, cringey, hilarious, wonderful, fun. Loved being back with Denton and Paolo (mostly Paolo <3). It got a little over-the-top at times but it was still great.......more

Goodreads review by Morris

“Denton Little’s Still Not Dead” is a hilarious follow-up to last year’s “Denton Little’s Deathdate.” It features all of the fun of the original with a heaping dose of existentialism. This series is definitely for a certain set of readers. The science of the world is explained a little, but a suspen......more

I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. FINALLY! More Denton! It seems like I have been waiting forever for this sequel and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Denton has found his birth mom (yeah, the one he thought was dead) and they are running from the DIA. There was a lot going o......more

Sono abbastanza stanca, per cui sarà una recensione breve e sconclusionata XD (Non vogliatemene) Nonostante mi aspettassi qualcosina di più, devo ammettere che Birthdate si dimostra il degno successore di Deathdate. Lo stile è lo stesso: fresco, ironico, divertente e molto, ma molto tragicomico. Dento......more


Quotes

Praise for Denton Little's Still Not Dead:

"Full of humor, suspense, family drama, romance, car chases, evil government agents, and scientists, this reads almost like a movie script."-- School Library Journal

"Funny and original." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Sarcastic banter, chases, and escapes keep the pages turning." -- Booklist

"Denton was supposed to die the day before this book begins, as readers will recall from Denton Little’s Deathdate, but what he thought would be the last day of his life has turned out to be the start of a covert existence full of illicit shenanigans. The caper aspect of the first installment is heightened in this sequel, but there’s still plenty of focus on family relationships, friendships, and (often awkward) romantic entanglements." -- The Horn Book
