Dive into this revealing portrait of Stranger Things fan-favorite Lucas Sinclair and get to know Lucas like never before! Mike already wears his ready-made scowl as he comes toward us. Unlike us, and expectedly, he has made no changes to his appearance. Not even to his general moping, which began from the second we learned that Will and El will not be joining us for the school year because the Byerses are moving permanently to California. El’s going with them. Right after the Starcourt debacle, they left with Dr. Owens to go make arrangements for their new living situation. We haven’t seen or heard anything about them for a while—for safety reasons or whatever. That and the general gloom of the mall disaster has turned Mike into the worst person to be around.

We both know high school is brutal, and we’re both trying to make sure we start on the right foot.”

Mom drops Erica off at the middle school first, then me next. The ride feels like it takes forever, but soon, the fa- miliar parking lot of Hawkins High School comes into view. I’ve never really thought about how flat it looks, compared with the middle school, which is shaped like a massive barn. This also means everyone can see everything, including freshmen getting dropped off by their parents on the first day. I’m sure they’d rather take the bus.” I look out the window. “At least pull over here, lemme meet up with Dustin and Mike before I walk in. You want me to go in alone on my first day of high school?” Dustin’s hair, which was already big, is now even big- ger. Maybe because he isn’t wearing a hat to cover his curls this time. Without it, what he’s done to his hair is very clear. He’s blown up everything, trying to go for a mullet. It looks like a bad perm.

The Netflix series, Stranger Things, a well-written mix of nostalgia, horror and science fiction. It is also fortunately a jumping off point for an entire universe of entertainment. One of the greatest slices of this universe is the companion novels that focus on individual characters. Over the show’s first four seasons, the cast has grown and (even with long run times for each episode) not every character gets their time in the spotlight.

Who says it’s Steve?” Dustin pats at the hair, as if that’ll make it shorter or less curly. “And so what if it’s him?” despite everything, i never even saw him get mad. he could’ve run, he could’ve saved himself but he fought. he fought and lost everything to protect this town, a town that hated him. he’s a hero.” ik this quote was said abt eddie but after reading this i realized it acc applies more to lucas than to anyone else.

Yeah, right, that,” I say. “Not sure Max and I are in the same lovey-dovey place you guys are, though. It’s been weird with us since Starcourt. She’s been weird.” Dive into this revealing portrait of Stranger Things fan favorite Lucas Sinclair and get to know Lucas like never before. Award-winning author Suyi Davies pens this exploration of love and identity within the beloved Stranger Things universe, through the eyes of beloved character Lucas Sinclair. Mom shakes her head but agrees and pulls over. She tries to kiss me on the forehead before I leave. Nope.Throughout the time Jay's been helping me, he's had to deal with all this major stuff as well. Despite that, it never showed in his behavior. He was never mean to me because the world was against him. Maybe it's time I start to learn to paddle my own boat in the same way.” as wonderful as this book is, a lot of the things talked in it should've been in the show, for all of the audience to see, not just a small fraction of it that happen to stumble across this book. We see themes of oppression and marginalization explored with Eddie’s character and I wish Lucas was included in that. Instead, he is reduced to a side character when he has so much depth. This was quite enjoyable. It was nice to get some insight into Lucas and what happened between the 3rd and 4th season. And his struggle as a person of colour in a small ass town in Indiana in the 80s. It did read a bit like fanfiction at times but I feel like that is inevitable when you are writing a companion novel to a franchise. Man, I am now heartbroken over Max and Lucas again. The new accomplishments aren’t all celebrated by Lucas’ friends. He must give up some of what made him who he was in the past. His relationships become strained. He finds himself arguing with his father. His difficulty in explaining or accepting the evolution into his new life leaves him angry or confused. Lucas finds himself growing apart from his friends and from his girlfriend, Max.

A few indeed,” says Dustin. “This is as close to a make- over as you get, Lucas.” He leans forward and pats at his hair again. “Maybe it’ll work out this time and girls won’t sneer at us.” He stops. “Not like we’re looking for girlfriends, of course. I’ve got Suzie, Mike’s got El, you’ve got Max.” Max is also avoiding him and not opening up about how she’s feeling. They all changed since what happened on Fourth of July it’s like as Lucas said, a part of all of them died that day. Lucas and Max’s break up in this book hurt as well! It was so well written and gives you more of an understanding of why they broke up that we didn’t get to see in the show. They still care about each other but both hurting and going through a lot at the moment. There’s nothing to be ashamed of, Lucas,” she says. “Plenty of high schoolers get dropped off by their moms. Mrs. Miller from two streets down drops off her daughter. Also, Mrs. Harris down the same corner. Drops off her son and two of his friends. They seem fine with it.” As Season 4 begins, Lucas is looking at starting high school differently than the others. He considers the opportunity for a brand-new start. He sets goals to make new friends, to get out of his comfort zone, and to still be true to himself. It’s in these struggles that the book finds its most powerful message and tone. Despite everything, I never even saw him get mad. He could've run, he could've saved himself but he fought. He fought and died to protect this town. This town that… hated him. Mr. Munson, he's a hero."

When he meets Jay his mentor for high school they instantly connect and Lucas wants to be friends with him. Jay suggests to Lucas that he should join the basketball team and he wasn’t sure at first but then he decides to signs up for try outs! Lucas is also struggling because his friends, Mike and Dustin don’t want him to do basketball because it takes him away from them and they spend less time together. They blame him for the party falling apart. This book starts on the first day of high school and ends before too much of season 4 happens- although it does take the reader through Chrissy's death and Lucas finding out about Max being a target for Vecna. I loved Lucas's pov, because it really fleshes his character out and explains what's going on when he's not actively fighting monsters from the upside down, but rather the monsters that roam the streets of high school. I think it's fitting that his book is set in the immediate follow up to season 4, because Caleb McLaughlin was a stand out on the show this past year. Loved being able to gain more perspective into Lucas as a character. They should have explored this more in the actual show though. This book provides much more perspective into Lucas’ sudden shift in priorities in the fourth season of the show.
