Burnt Sugar | Stranger Things

Janelle Harper is one pirouette away from escaping Chicago for good-until her social worker destroys everything with one sentence.
Hawkins is nothing but cornfields, strange kids on bikes, and a Spring Showcase she'll never get to compete in. But the Sinclair's were different; warm, loud, annoyingly kind- they pulled her in like she's always belonged, whether she wants it or not.
For the first time since Chicago 1979, Janelle feels something dangerous: Hope.
Between dance, trauma, found family, and a boy who can't decide if he hates her or wants to understand her, Janelle must learn how to stay, how to trust, and how to breathe again.
Because sometimes the home you never wanted
...becomes the first place you finally feel safe.
