Hawkins has always been a town of secrets, but for fifteen-year-old Penelope Creel, life is as bright and sparkling as her favorite shade of pink. The untouchable it-girl of Hawkins High, she thrives on attention, glides through the hallways effortlessly, and rules her world with charm, kindness, and a little humility. Beneath the surface, however, Penelope's life is far from perfect-her mother is gone, her father works tirelessly, and her little brother Alex looks to her for guidance.
When she babysits Will Byers, Penelope finds herself drawn to his quiet strength and the curious, brave friends he keeps. All the while, Steve Harrington, the boy she's loved since kindergarten, watches from the sidelines, obsessed and tormented by the secret feelings he's never revealed.
As shadows creep over Hawkins, strange disappearances and dark forces begin to test everything Penelope knows about her world-and about herself. Courage, friendship, and forbidden feelings collide in a story of love, danger, and discovery.
In a town full of monsters, sometimes the hardest thing to survive is your own heart.
