The Girl on the Corner

Rowan Hollis has lived in Hawkins her entire life-on the corner near the Wheeler house, in the quiet place people don't look too closely at.

She babysits. She helps with homework. She listens to dice clatter during Dungeons & Dragons campaigns she's never invited to play. She's known Nancy Wheeler since middle school and watched her little brother grow up from the sidelines.

What no one knows is that Rowan is a witch.

Raised by her aunt after her parents vanished under mysterious circumstances tied to Hawkins Lab, Rowan has learned how to stay quiet, how to blend in, how to ignore the wrongness humming beneath the town.

When Will Byers disappears, Rowan knows something old has stirred-and this time, it's personal.

As Hawkins begins to unravel, she's pulled into secrets she was taught never to touch... and into the orbit of Steve Harrington, a boy she doesn't like, doesn't trust, and never planned on falling for.

Some things in Hawkins were cursed long before the gate opened.
