How To Survive 1985

by Tegan Bennett Daylight

When four friends find themselves thrown back in time to 1985, how will they handle being teens in their parents' era? And will they ever get back to the future?



It takes Shannon a while to work out what's happened. She went into the cinema in 2025 and came back out ... in 1985? Somehow she's travelled forty years back in time.

But this isn't the first time something strange has happened to Shannon and her group of friends. Is there a chance that whatever mysterious forces brought them together a year ago have sent them back to the 80s with her? To find her friends, she'll have to navigate a world with no smartphones, no internet, and - worst of all - no bubble tea.

As the group tries to find a way back to the future, some friendships are strained while others blossom into something more. Can they stay together - and stay friends - long enough to survive 1985?

In another warm, wise and life-affirming story, Tegan Bennett Daylight takes her beloved cast of characters from her debut YA novel Royals on a fresh adventure, to discover something about their roots and how far their generation has come.
