The silence rebellion || Steve Harrington

BOOK ONE

ELISE Wheeler never meant to be the center of anything-not the town's secrets, not her family's expectations, and definitely not the growing darkness swallowing Hawkins whole. At fifteen, she's a sophomore, the second-oldest Wheeler child, and the one everyone forgets to look at twice. Where Nancy walks with confidence, Elise slips through hallways quietly, books pressed to her chest and her thoughts hidden behind hesitant smiles.

To her teachers, she's polite.
To her parents, she's dependable.
To most of Hawkins High, she barely exists.

But Elise carries a world inside her-
notebooks filled with sketches and whispered thoughts, questions she never dares to ask aloud, and a spark of rebellion buried so deep it almost scares her. She's shy, yes. Quiet, always. But softness does not mean weakness, and silence does not mean she isn't listening.

And when Hawkins begins to unravel-kids disappearing, lights flickering, shadows moving where they shouldn't-Elise finds herself drawn into the chaos in ways she never imagined. Into danger. Into secrets. Into the kind of bravery she didn't know she had.

Elise Wheeler might be invisible to most of the world.
But in Hawkins, even the quietest heart can change everything.
