    This book takes place in present day. Ben Wolf is a 18 year old high school student with leukemia. He goes to a suburban school. But he has a troubled house hold. "Mom flushed her medication down the toilet and on the twenty-fourth downed close to a fifth of Jim Bean whiskey and turned Christmas eve into Halloween." I chose this quote because it shows that he has a troubled house hold because of his mother. He doesn't have a stable home life and on top of that he has ton learn how to deal with the fact that he has leukemia. In the end I think that  him and his family will get better and it wont be as hard.
