Generation X Marks the Spot

By Roberta Glacken

Thirty-five years ago, five Gen X teenagers spent one unforgettable summer exploring abandoned places, dodging trouble, and making promises they never expected to keep.

Now in their fifties, life has taken them in different directions. Divorces, careers, regrets, and responsibilities have replaced mixtapes, arcade tokens, and endless summer nights. When the closing of an old Pizza Hut reunites them in their hometown of Briar Glen, they expect nothing more than a nostalgic walk down memory lane.

Instead, they uncover a mystery that should have stayed buried.

Drawn back to the abandoned amusement park that defined their youth, the five friends find themselves following a trail of clues that spans decades. As old wounds resurface and long-forgotten secrets come to light, they'll discover that some promises never fade, some friendships never break, and some truths refuse to stay hidden.

Filled with humor, heart, mystery, and Gen X nostalgia, Generation X Marks the Spot is a thrilling adventure about friendship, second chances, and the people who help us find our way home-even when we're old enough to know better.

Perfect for fans of The Goonies, Stand By Me, Stranger Things, and stories that remind us that growing older doesn't mean growing up.
