NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. Explore Hawkins with fan-favorite character Eleven in a novel based on the iconic Netflix series Stranger Things.
It’s summer vacation, and everyone in Hawkins has plans — everyone except Eleven. She feels trapped by her overprotective father and wants to break out and find a normal teen life like the ones she sees in her magazines. Luckily, Eleven’s not alone. Her friend Max needs to flee a troubling home life and an increasingly dangerous older brother. They decide to escape together, and in Hawkins in the summer of 1985, there is only one place to go: the all-new Starcourt Mall. Will midnight movies and an overnight party in the food court be the solution to their problems? Or will Eleven and Max discover that a little freedom can lead to a lot of trouble, and that the ghosts of the past are never far away?
