Hawkins was never meant to be the centre of the world's strangest mysteries. But for Isabelle Harrington, strange has become normal. After a chance friendship with Max Mayfield turns into something much more, Isabelle finds herself caught in the middle of every disaster Hawkins has to offer, from Demogorgons and Mind Flayers to government conspiracies and secrets buried deep beneath the town. As the years pass, the monsters grow deadlier, the stakes become higher, and Isabelle begins discovering that she may have changed more than anyone realizes after surviving an attack that should have killed her. With her friends fighting to save Hawkins again and again, Isabelle must navigate first love, impossible choices, and powers she never asked for while protecting the people who matter most. Because in Hawkins, growing up is hard. Surviving is even harder. And falling in love with Max Mayfield might be the most dangerous thing of all.
