The summer of 1977 was a crazy time
in New York City. There was disco, women’s lib, arson, an
intense heatwave, a blackout, and a murderer called the
Son of Sam targeting young couples out on dates. In the
midst of all this, high school senior Nora López just
wants to save enough money to move out on her own and get
a fresh start. She's excited to start dating Pablo, the
cute stock boy at the bodega where she works, but every
time they’re out together she’s watching over her shoulder
for the killer at large. Meanwhile, Nora’s mother could be
laid off any day and her brother’s mood swings are getting
violent. With a tingly sense of unseen danger around each
corner, Meg Medina brings 1970s NYC to vivid life in this
gripping novel. If you enjoyed The Get Down on Netflix,
you must pick up Burn Baby Burn today! (Pennsylvania
