Stranger Things

Max Mayfield knows she doesn't fit in. She never seems to say the right thing, she isn't cheesy or delicate as his mother pretends to be, and what she likes most are video games and skateboarding. Also, since her mother married Neil, and her half-brother, Billy, entered the scene, her life has become even more complicated. Now Max and her new family live in Hawkins, a place where everything seems strange. But Max is determined to escape. Her plan is to go to Los Angeles and meet her father. However, Max seems to be making new friends in Hawkins and will have to decide whether to move forward with her plan or face the upside down. This prequel to Stranger Things reveals the most unknown aspects of one of the favorite characters of the successful Netflix series.
