Denton Little's Deathdate by Lance Rubin

Q&A with Author Lance Rubin on the Suppression of his YA Novel in South Carolina

Author Lance Rubin published Denton Little’s Deathdate in 2015. It follows a teenage boy named Denton Little who – like everyone else in the world he inhabits – knows the exact date on which they are going to die. Based on a single complaint in August of 2017, the book was pulled from all the Beaufort County School District’s physical and digital library shelves without following the district’s own procedure.
