'90s Kids

Meer over het boek

Bex, born in 1990, is the most popular sophomore in the marching band and a somewhat hopeless romantic. Nicole, born in 1999, is a cynical science nerd and “Star Trek” fan fiction author. After two separate time travel accidents—one in 2006 and one in 2015—the girls meet each other in 1989, both at age 16. Now living in a different decade, Bex gets to have the John Hughes-inspired teen fantasy that she’s always imagined while Nicole gets to examine time-travel technology straight out of her favorite fictional universes. But when government officials attempt to contain them at the Department of Motor Vehicles, the two find themselves on the run. Will they avoid a paradox and find their way back to their own time periods, or will the adventure and romance of the ’80s and ’90s keep them stuck in the past? More than a typical young-adult coming-of-age novel, “’90s Kids” features time travel as a way to explore the evolution of punk rock, interracial relationships, and LGBTQ+ acceptance.
