Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Fortuna 1985: A Twilight Zone StoryA nostalgic, mind-bending coming-of-age novel perfect for readers who love critical thinking, rich literary analysis, and unforgettable teen storytelling.Set in the misty coastal town of Fortuna, California during the 1984-85 school year, Fortuna 1985 follows Lana Zumner - a quiet senior who begins noticing glitches in her small-town reality. High school heartbreak, friendship drama, and awkward crushes unfold against a backdrop that feels both achingly real and subtly wrong. As Lana navigates gossip, bonfires, arcade nights, and the pull of first love, she slowly uncovers a chilling truth: her world might not be real at all.Written in the spirit of The Wonder Years, Stand By Me, and The Twilight Zone, this novel invites readers to question memory, reality, and identity through a story that feels authentically 1980s, yet timelessly resonant.Designed for educational engagement, Fortuna 1985 offers: - Authentic 1980s cultural immersion for teen readers- Rich discussion themes: surveillance, conformity vs. rebellion, constructed realities- Critical thinking prompts hidden within character arcs and world-building- A devastating late-book twist that reframes the entire narrative for deep analysisPerfect for: - High school English and Social Studies classrooms- Teen library programs and book clubs- Readers who love speculative fiction, vintage Americana, and philosophical coming-of-age storiesSome towns keep secrets. Others are the cage itself.
