If you’ve ever wanted to step back into your childhood, walk through dusty small-town streets, and laugh through tears, Dad and Disco might be your next favorite read.
New Book Dad and Disco Dances Through the ’90s with Heart, Humor, and Nostalgia
Set in the 1990s, this comedy-drama tells the story of a 9-year-old girl and her quirky, big-hearted dad. Together, they navigate the ups and downs of growing up—her growing up too fast, and him trying to hold on just long enough. What unfolds is a touching and hilarious portrait of a father-daughter bond that’s equal parts disco dance party and deep emotional connection.
At its core, Dad and Disco is a story of hope and the quiet power of childhood strength—that unshakable resilience kids carry when the world gets confusing. It shows how sometimes, children handle life better than adults do. With sharp dialogue, heartwarming moments, and laugh-out-loud scenes, the book paints a vivid picture of family life in a simpler, more analog time.
Readers will find themselves pulled into a world of cassette tapes, backyard games, and living-room dance-offs—an era before screens took over, when connection happened face-to-face, and love was often shown through small, silly acts.
