Would you and your mom have been friends if you'd gone to the same high school?

Get your legwarmers on.....

Some of the most fun I've ever had writing was the novella about the totally tubular adventures of Carrington Morris. Poor Carri travels back in time to 1986 and the first person to befriend her? MOM!

I loved reliving the fashion, music, styles, and culture of the '80s. I was reminded of how much we didn't know about things like AIDS--and how much we didn't ever expect to change--cell phones, anyone? I was also encouraged by how some things are still the same (or in the case of jeggings, have cycled back into favor).

I think teens will enjoy this book--duh, it is YA--but I also imagine that anyone who grew up in the '80s is going to get a kick out of. And please, can you imagine going to high school with you MOM?????





When sixteen-year-old Carrington Morris attends an 80s themed dance at her high school, she inadvertently travels back in time to 1986 and quickly latches on to the only person she "knows"--her 16-year-old mother, Heather.
Forced to navigate a world with New Coke, an MTV that plays actual music videos, and a mother who takes her to keggers and tries to set her up with the future mayor, Carri worries that she will screw up her future like she's seen in the movies. While trying to figure out how to get home, she befriends three nerds (who else would understand the time-space continuum?) and one of those nerds, Nate, might have the key to her time travel...and her heart.

When her mother's tragic past catches up with Carri's present, Carri really learns what she's made of and what kind of person she wants to be.
