"Someone always has to be the canary, the one who goes in first, the one who notices the poison before anyone else. I just didn't expect it to feel so familiar."
~~~~~
In Hawkins, Indiana, monsters were supposed to live in the dark - under beds, inside closets, buried deep in government laboratories.
No one ever warned Wren Newby that the worst ones would walk the halls of her school, sit at her dinner table, or live inside her own chest.
She grew up on the outskirts of everything; of her family, her classmates, her town. Too quiet, too strange, too much like her father and not enough like her mother. She learned how to disappear long before the world ever gave her a reason to want to.
But when the impossible finally crawls into Hawkins, Wren begins to understand something terrible and beautiful at the same time.
It was never really about being different.
It was about being chosen.
