Synopsis: When four friends find themselves thrown back in time to 1985, how will they handle being teens in their parents&’ era? And will they ever get back to the future? It takes Shannon a while to work out what&’s happened. She went into the cinema in 2025 and came back out … in 1985? Somehow she&’s travelled forty years back in time. But this isn&’t the first time something strange has happened to Shannon and her group of friends. Is there a chance that whatever mysterious forces brought them together a year ago have sent them back to the 80s with her? To find her friends, she&’ll have to navigate a world with no smartphones, no internet, and – worst of all – no bubble tea. As the group tries to find a way back to the future, some friendships are strained while others blossom into something more. Can they stay together – and stay friends – long enough to survive 1985? In another warm, wise and life-affirming story, Tegan Bennett Daylight takes her beloved cast of characters from her debut YA novel Royals on a fresh adventure, to discover something about their roots and how far their generation has come.
