Natalie and the Neon Door

By A.P. Koski

Natalie and the Neon Door is a nostalgic, heart felt sci-fi adventure set in 1988. Natalie is turning sixteen, and she expects her birthday to be perfect: the perfect outfit, the perfect party, the perfect friends, and the perfect amount of attention. But when her big day begins repeating over and over, Natalie realizes something strange is controlling her world.

At first, she uses the time loop to chase fun, popularity, and perfection. But as the resets grow stranger, Natalie discovers that the loop is not just about her birthday-it is about learning who she is and what truly matters. Guided by mysterious forces from a hidden observatory, Natalie is pushed toward new lessons, unexpected challenges, and a deeper understanding of family, responsibility, and courage.

When her little brother Leo becomes part of the mystery, Natalie must face how much she has taken him for granted. What began as a dream birthday turns into a race to protect the person she should have valued all along. Blending humor, 1980s pop culture, time-loop science fiction, and emotional growth, Natalie and the Neon Door is a story about second chances, sibling bonds, and finding the courage to become better before time runs out
