"The backstory of the Stranger Things's Robin, and her journey of coming into her own personality, interests, and sexuality"--

Stranger Things: Rebel Robin

Leigh Osborne

I love Robin, If I would have been a bit younger she would probably be my gay awaking. 

Even though the Story plays in the 80's I can still relate to Robin on so many layers which just proves that humans never really change. There will always be weirdos and strange kids.

A lot of Easter eggs and references, a funny and authentic Robin, and a good coming of age story!

Robin is my favorite character on Stranger Things so I loved this! This book reads just like her and Capetta did a great job, adapting her to a novel format. This was an eighties, slice of life, I liked how this one is a 'Stranger Things' novel but we did not have the supernatural elements, so, we really just got to know Robin more as a character. One of the reasons that this book did not get a five star was sometimes the writing was just weird, the way things were described and then there was one scene where in Robin's mind she's having a conversation with Tammy Thompson and ... Steve's hair, his hair! That's just weird and I don't think anyone would do that, even, the weirdest girl in Hawkins. Another reason that I did not give the full five star is one of the chapters, the last one of part two, with Mr. Hauser, the reader has no idea why Robin feels this connection to him and what not, you have to listen to the podcast to know this. Luckily, I listened to the podcast that ties into the story, but if someone didn't they would be really confused. Overall, this was a fun read and probably my second favorite 'Stranger Things' book.

Discover the backstory of new Stranger Things fan favorite Robin--the perfect read for anyone looking forward to devouring the fourth season on Netflix--now available as a paperback! High school is a monster, and it's eating everyone Robin knows. It's the beginning of sophomore year, and Robin's Odd Squad friends couple up, won't stop talking about college and their future careers, and are obsessed with trying to act "normal." Robin knows that game well--she's been pretending for years, hoping nobody would notice the sarcastic polyglot French horn player with a bad perm in the back of the room. But there's one aspect of her identity that she knows for sure doesn't fit in with her image--Robin likes girls. How is she supposed to be her true self in teeny-tiny Hawkins, Indiana? Robin is convinced the only way she can experience real life is by fleeing to Europe for the summer--aka Operation Croissant. But she has no money, no permission, and no one to share the adventure with--and it will take a heck of a lot more than that to escape Hawkins in one piece. Sprinkled with references to your favorite Stranger Things characters, this prequel chronicles one girl's realization that the only person she really needs to be accepted by is herself.
