Especially with homophobes running the campus, including Gordo (aka Luis's estranged father). Though it turns out a conservative school in the '80s isn't the safest place to be a gay kid. 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. 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.). Not after what happened with Chaz Wilson. All Luis Gonzalez wants is to go to prom with his boyfriend, something his "progressive" high school still doesn't allow. 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.
