Danny's 1985: A Sixth Grade Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798276542577)

May 16, 1985. Riverside, California. Sixth grade is about to get real.

Eleven-year-old Danny Hart thought being the oldest kid at St. Thomas Catholic School would be easy. He was wrong.
Between:

• An eighth-grade bully targeting his classmate
• A rivalry with Hawthorne Elementary that gets personal
• Computer club on Apple IIe computers (all three of them)
• A baseball record that won't quit: 0-9

Danny's learning fast: Leadership isn't about being the toughest or the loudest. It's about standing up for friends, making your own choices, and showing up with integrity, win or lose.

With help from his seventeen-year-old brother Pete and his crew of loyal friends, Danny navigates a year of arcade battles, BMX adventures, and hard choices that will define who he becomes.

• Authentic 1980s setting (no cell phones, no internet, just bikes and freedom)
• Realistic sixth-grade challenges (bullying, peer pressure, rivalry)
• Warmhearted family dynamics
• A hero who's decent, not perfect

For fans of Wonder, Fish in a Tree, and anyone who remembers what it was like when "be home by dinner" was the only rule.

Grab your quarters. Hop on your bike. Welcome to Danny's 1985.
