It's the fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But the villain has vanished--his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating the mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will's disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming--and with it a darkness more powerful and deadly than anything they've faced before. To end this nightmare, they'll need everyone--the full party--standing together, one last time. This 320-page junior novelization retells the incredible fifth season of Stranger Things--and includes eight pages of full-color images from the show.

Welcome to the world of Netflix's hit series Stranger Things. Follow Eleven, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Will, Max, and their friends for mystery, suspense, and adventures in 1980s Hawkins.
