Science Fiction & Fantasy. Young Adult Fiction. Young Adult Literature. LGBTQIA+ (Fiction.) HTML:From lauded writer David Valdes, a sharp and funny YA novel that's Back to the Future with a twist, as a gay teen travels back to his parents' era to save a closeted classmate's life.
/>
All Luis Gonzalez wants is to go to prom with his boyfriend, something his "progressive" school still doesn't allow. Not after what happened with Chaz Wilson. But that was ages ago, when Luis's parents were in high school; it would never happen today, right? He's determined to find a way to give his LGBTQ friends the respect they deserve (while also not risking his chance to be prom king, just saying...).

When a hit on the head knocks him back in time to 1985 and he meets the doomed young Chaz himself, Luis concocts a new plan-he's going to give this guy his first real kiss. Though it turns out a conservative school in the '80s isn't the safest place to be a gay kid. Especially with homophobes running the campus, including Gordo (aka Luis's estranged father). Luis is in over his head, trying not to make things worse-and hoping he makes it back to present day at all.

In a story that's fresh, intersectional, and wickedly funny, David Valdes introduces a big-mouthed, big-hearted queer character that readers won't soon forget.… (plus d'informations)

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.
