The Impossible Fortress by Jason Rekulak
The Impossible Fortress by Jason Rekulak ($34) capitalizes on the nostalgia that pretty much all of our pop culture has been tapping into lately. In the late 1980s, Billy Marvin is obsessed with computers. And then he meets Mary Zelinsky and she knows even more about the subject than he does. This could have been a cute novel about first love (which it is), but it also has the added element of crime. You see, Billy and his friends need to get their hands on the Playboy issue that includes images of Vanna White”and Mary’s father is the only guy in town who sells Playboy at his store. Cue the deceit, the caper and, of course, a good dose of hilarity.
