Es el año 1999. Michael Rosario tiene doce años y lleva una vida bastante normal, salvo por la inminente crisis del efecto 2000 y su abrumador enamoramiento por su niñera de dieciséis años, Gibby. Pero cuando un adolescente desorientado llamado Ridge aparece de la nada, todo cambia de repente. Ridge es despreocupado, seguro de sà mismo y audaz, todo lo que Michael desearÃa ser. Pero Ridge también guarda un secreto sorprendente: es un viajero que proviene del futuro. A medida que los chicos comienzan a conocerse y Ridge se sumerge en el año 1999 --fascinado por los microondas, los partidos de básquetbol y los centros comerciales--, Michael descubre que su nuevo amigo tiene un libro que describe los acontecimientos de los próximos veinte años, y decide adueñarse del libro. De qué otra forma podrÃa prepararse para el futuro? Pero hasta dónde está dispuesto a llegar para conseguirlo? It's 1999. Twelve-year-old Michael Rosario is living a pretty normal life, except for the looming Y2K bug and his overwhelming crush on his sixteen-year-old babysitter, Gibby. But when a clueless teenager named Ridge suddenly appears, everything changes. Ridge is carefree, confident, and daring--everything Michael wishes he could be. But Ridge also harbors a startling secret: he's a time traveler from the future. As the boys get to know each other and Ridge immerses himself in 1999--fascinated by microwaves, basketball games, and shopping malls--Michael discovers his new friend has a book that outlines the events of the next twenty years, and he decides to get his hands on it. How else can he prepare for the future? But how far is he willing to go to get it?
