    Summary

    Steve Hopper has grown up believing he is ordinary.

    He is seventeen, popular, bad at school, good at people, and deeply rooted in a small Indiana town where everyone knows his name and has an opinion about his father. Jim Hopper raised him alone, fiercely, and carefully, with rules that feel like love and boundaries that feel like fear.

    When a boy goes missing in Hawkins, Steve is kept at arm’s length. The adults know more than they say. His father knows more than he shares.
