Sixteen-year-old Juliette Hopper always had a knack for spotting what adults tried to keep secret.
Suddenly a boy goes missing. People are keeping secrets. Her dad keeps disappearing for hours at a time.
When Will Byers disappears, Julie can't help but become obsessed with finding him. Her search pulls her into everyone's messy secrets, secrets they really don't want her messing with. But she can't ignore the truth, especially when she finds out the younger boys are hiding something too. Something alive. Something scared. Something called Eleven.
As Julie gets sucked further into the darkness of Hawkins, with weird lights coming from the woods, creatures that shouldn't exist, and so many lies, she starts to see she's stuck between two worlds. One is a world her dad is trying to keep her out of, and the other is a world her friends are falling into.
With danger everywhere and trust breaking, Juliette has to decide what to believe and who to follow. She has to find out if she's strong enough to face a truth that could wreck everything she thought she knew about her town, her friends, and her dad.
Because in Hawkins, nothing stays buried for long.
Not monsters. Not secrets.
Not even the ones you think you escaped.
