Back to the Future meets The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time in this original, poignant, race-against-Time story about a boy who travels back to 1984 to save his father\'s life.
From the Hardcover edition..
with a literary edge and tons of commerical appeal, this incredible debut has it all: heart, humor, vividly imagined characters, and a pitch-perfect voice.
But as Al soon discovers, whizzing back thirty years requires not only imagination and courage, but also lying to your mom, stealing a moped, and setting your school on fire--oh, and keeping your pet Hamster safe.
The letter also outlines a mission: travel back to 1984 and prevent the go-kart accident that will eventually take his father\'s life.
It directs him to the bunker of their old house, where Al finds a Time machine (an ancient computer and a tin bucket).
On his twelfth birthday, Al Chaudhury receives a letter from his dead father.
Once when he was thirty-nine and again four years later, when he was twelve.
My dad died twice.
