Oxford, 1981: When fifty-year-old Nick Taylor is cast back in time, he finds the past isn't so easy to fix, especially now he's only ten years old.
1981 was a year Nick would rather forget. His mother died in a plane crash, his father ran off with the babysitter, and he was sent to the worst school imaginable. Forty years later, that babysitter, now his stepmother, disinherits him.
Then Nick is given a bracelet with the power to return him to his younger self. Arriving in 1981, before his world fell apart, he now has the chance to set his life on a different course. But in a world of fussy aunts, playground bullies, and tyrannical teachers, that could prove harder than he thinks. Join Nick as he relives the experience of growing up in the 1980s in this humorous and thought-provoking time travel story. 1981 is part of the anthology series, A Year in the Life. Each book revisits a different aspect of life in the 1980s, and each story can be enjoyed standalone.
