In the time-traveling YA novel "Throwback," Maurene Goo is a nod to classic '90s culture full of "Back to the Future" callbacks. Sam and her mother, Priscilla, have never really been able to get on the same page when their priorities differ greatly. After a blowout fight about homecoming, Sam calls a ride from the Throwback rideshare app, and it drops her off in 1995, the same year her mother was running for homecoming queen in high school. The only way to return to the future is for Sam to help her mother win homecoming and avoid a fight with Priscila's mother (aka, her grandmother) that will destroy their relationship. Brimming with cultural nostalgia, Goo delivers a hilarious mother-daughter duo that readers will root for.
