This book is such a quick and fantastic read for someone who’s a fan of Stranger Things!! Lucas is explored so authentically in this tie in, and it gives so much insight to both his family, his arcs, and his transition between season three and four. Lucas is highly underrated and this book gives him the spotlight that he deserves.

A must-read for any Stranger Things fan, and I would honestly recommend it even if the reader knows nothing about Stranger Things. Lucas is such an underrated character, and this book really shows so much of what makes him a great character. If the Duffer Brothers had any sense they would make Lucas the focus of the nest season and give him the respect he deserves.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Bullying and Racism
Moderate: Child death, Classism, Death, Toxic friendship, and Mental illness
the Toxic Friendship are the jocks and the way they treat him, and the way the Party doesn't respect Lucas' needs.
