   Summary

   Shannon Steadman moves to Hawkins expecting to leave again soon.

   Instead she finds Will Byers, a group of boys who spend too much time playing D&D, and a town that feels smaller — and stranger — the longer she stays.

   Then Will disappears.

   And nothing in Hawkins is ever quite what it seems again.
