If You Were Here - 9781719107167

A school shooting in 2016 leaves Daniel Girch in a coma. As he's hovering between life and death, he inexplicably wakes up in his own bedroom...but instead of an iPhone plugged in next to his bed, there's a radio. On the dresser is a stack of cassette tapes. On the wall is a poster of a young Christie Brinkley. And in the closet are parachute pants and polo shirts. Downstairs, Daniel's dead grandmother is making pancakes, and his mom is suddenly an annoying eleven-year-old who plays with Barbies. It's 1986. With the help of his new best friend, Roger, Daniel assimilates to life as a teenager in the 1980s. He learns how to dress the part, to like the music, and to live without the conveniences of the modern world...and he also falls in love with a girl more interesting than any he's ever known. As Daniel fights for his life in 2016, he's awake in 1986 and struggling to save his uncle from the untimely death that changed the course of his whole family's lives. What will happen after he wakes up? And how will the things Daniel does in the past affect the future?
