I'm not sure I'd recommend this book to 8th graders because it says the f-word a lot and talks about sex, but if they pick it up and read it on their own -- it has some powerful messages.
I love Young Adult literature.

An Excerpt from Chris Crutcher's Deadline
"Because it is a secret and it carries seeming awfulness, it keeps her from telling the truth. People who feel ruined, or scared all the time, simply can't tell the truth. When she can tell it, own it instead of letting it own her, she'll be fine." - Hey-soos
