Sixteen-year-old Ruby Jane Henderson is Hawkins' resident airhead, queen of clueless comments, and the sister everyone wishes they had-if only she weren't so... distractingly dumb. She's best friends with Nancy Wheeler, and somehow survives daily teen drama without completely losing her mind.
But Ruby has a secret. When she was four, she disappeared into the Upside Down for hours-and came back marked by something dark. Now, strange things happen when she's emotional, objects move on their own, and she's starting to suspect the things lurking in Hawkins aren't just stories.
When kids start disappearing, including Jonathan's brother Will, Ruby has to balance high school chaos, crushes, and gossip with unlocking powers she doesn't fully understand. Can the clumsiest teen in Hawkins really be the town's unexpected hero? Or will her obliviousness get everyone killed?
