About this listen
Fancy a trip back in time to 1981? Then join Nick Taylor as he gets the opportunity of a lifetime to relive a whole year of his life.
1981 wasn't a year Nick remembered fondly. His mother was killed in a plane crash, his father ran off with the babysitter, and he was sent to possibly the most horrible school in the world. 2020 ends on a similar note when that babysitter, now his stepmother, can't be bothered to tell him his father is dying until it is too late and then promptly disinherits him.
Then Nick meets television star Keith Diamond who gives him a bracelet with the power to send him back in time. Arriving in 1981, before the events that shaped his annus horribilis, he realises he now has the power to change the timeline. There's just one problem no one takes any notice of you when you're only ten.
Join Nick, as he relives the experience of growing up in the 1980s, in this humorous and thought-provoking time travel story.
1981 is part of the anthology series, A Year in the Life. Each book revisits a different aspect of life in the 1980s, and each story can be enjoyed standalone.

More Nostalgia
Another great book from Jason. I love wallowing in the nostalgia of this series of books although this one brought back a few bad memories of my time at school in the 80s. Looking forward to the rest in the series, roll on 1982.

Even Better Than 1980
Some great throwbacks to a time when I grew up. The story was even better than the 1980 book, which I also enjoyed.
Looking forward to the rest of the decade now!

Another great story
This was another thought provoking story with excellent characters told at just the right pace
You could hugely sympathise with the lead character and the school bits brought back memories of my childhood in a similar (but nothing like as bad) environment
A very good ending as usual left me wanting more
And it made me wonder if there was a key year in my life I could go back to and change. I managed to find one but nothing like as traumatic as Nick in this story.
