Description
Bloomsbury presents Spin Me Right Round by David Valdes, read by Anthony Rodriguez.
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’ 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 (a.k.a. Luis’ 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 listeners won’t soon forget.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"The solid pacing and pleasant, fluid prose make this a page-turner.... A great read offering entertainment, encouragement, and plenty to reflect upon." (Kirkus Reviews)
"Prepare to laugh out loud as Cuban American high-school senior Luis takes a trip into the past that rivals Back to the Future.... Readers will fall for Luis and Chaz, and - bonus! - Luis’ clumsy, misunderstood roommate, Ernie. The ripple effects of their brave choices change everyone’s future for the better." (Booklist)
