Publisher Description

Welcome to 1984 and the town of South Wakefield.

Chris Lane is 14 and he's sure that he can see the future, or at least guess what's inside of Christie Brinkley's mind.

But he can't foresee the closing of Joyland, the town's only video arcade.

With the arcade's passing comes a summer of teenage lust, violence, and a search for new entertainment.

Never far away is Chris's younger sister, Tammy, who plays spy to the events that will change the lives of her family and town forever.

Joyland is a novel about the impossibility of knowing the future.

Schultz brings the Cold War home in a novel set to the digital pulse of video games and the echoes of hair metal.
