Roller Disco Saturday Night

Brook Hollow, a sleepy little town in western Massachusetts, is about to wake up. A generation ago, the Pleasure Park brought tourists from all over to play midway games and ride the Havoc roller coaster. Now, over a decade after the Pleasure Park burned down, Brook Hollow has only one claim to fame: the genius students of James K. Polk High … and what they decide to create. Reminiscent of Stephen King’s It and Robert McCammon’s Boy’s Life, Roller Disco Saturday Night defines its own time, and the people who survive it. These six teenagers are on the cusp of discovering that genius isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and that in order to survive growing up, sometimes you have to invent your own happiness. Sometimes the key to surviving your youth is right in your own backyard.
