Ben Yokoyama and the Cookie of Doom

Matthew Swanson

After reading a fortune-cookie message, Ben Yokoyama believes that he has only one day left to live. Taking its advice literally, he creates a bucket list of unfinished tasks and long-held wishes, including building a model of the Taj Mahal and eating a whole cake. His list becomes increasingly outlandish as he gets into and out of trouble, takes risks, makes friendships, and comes to know neighbors.
