    About this ebook

    Meet Luis. He's out, he's proud ... and, although he doesn't know it yet, he's about to travel back in time to save a closeted student called Chaz from a tragic end.

    All Luis Gonzalez really wants is to go to prom with his boyfriend. But when a hit on the head knocks him back in time to 1985, he finds himself in high school with his own parents and a whole lot of homophobia. It turns out a Christian school in the 1980s probably isn't the safest place to be a gay kid. Soon, Luis is in over his head trying to untangle the mess he's in, figure how to save Chaz ... and somehow get home to his own time.

    Get ready for an irresistible YA novel that puts an Own Voices twist on Back to the Future. Perfect for fans of Adam Silvera, Becky Albertalli and Casey McQuiston, this hilarious, intersectional time-slip adventure will make you laugh, cry and think.

      This book was sweet and fun; I loved the kids in both eras, and who could possibly disdain any back-to-the-future-style examination of changes to a timeline? I thought the main character was kind of shockingly shallow—I found it a bit unbelievable that a high school senior so knowledgeable about pop culture, and experiencing and fighting homophobic discrimination himself in 2022, would be so blithely unaware of and unconcerned with the realities of bigotry against other LGBTQIA people, not only in the 1980s but in the world around him.
