Stealing Time

Tori lives in 2020 and her parents are getting divorced. Bobby lives in 1980 and his family is about to fall apart.

But when Tori is accidentally sent back to 1980 New York, she finds herself simultaneously home and nothome in a city overrun by graffiti, pollution and crime. Checker cabs and phone booths are everywhere but cell phones and the internet don't exist. Teenagers Tori and Bobby must join forces to prevent the jewelry theft of the decade—a crime that might destroy everyone they care about. Will Tori ever get back to her own time? Oh, and did we mention she's his daughter?"
