Stranger Things: One Way or Another

A Nancy Wheeler Mystery

By: Caitlin Schneiderhan

Narrated by: Louisa Zhu

Following the events of Stranger Things: Season 4, Nancy Wheeler and Robin Buckley are hot on the heels of a new mystery—and they won’t stop until they solve it.

Hawkins, Indiana, is in recovery. It’s been two months since Vecna’s earthquake tore through the town, and its residents are still reeling from the devastation. Nancy Wheeler has spent every waking minute on the hunt for Vecna, but he’s continued to elude her. How can she head to Emerson for college in the fall if Hawkins is still under the influence of the Upside Down?

When fellow classmate Joey Taft starts acting shifty at graduation, Nancy is convinced Vecna’s found his newest victim. Joined by fellow amateur sleuth Robin Buckley, Nancy doesn’t waste any time questioning Joey. What the girls discover leads them down the path of a bigger story than The Hawkins Post could ever have assigned Nancy. Why are people around town suddenly getting sick? Why is there a strange man tailing Nancy as she investigates? And, most important, does this even have anything to do with the Upside Down?

Together with Robin, Nancy embarks on a dangerous quest for the truth. The deeper the two dig, the further Nancy finds herself drawn into a web of intrigue that threatens to trap her in Hawkins . . . forever.

must have for stranger things watchers

great story. really filled in some gaps and hopefully picked up on a couple of easter eggs!

Great book!

It was so well written. I could visualize the characters mannerisms through the authors writing.

Really fun story! little dark, but a great story and so much fun being even more connected to the Stranger Things world.

it was too short and I wanted more! Everything was well written and narrated. The author does wel to honor the ST universe and I love her work.

Fun little side story

Just finished the first haft of season 5 and thought this to be a fun little filler to hold off on until the rest of it releases this month. I do understand that the author can’t tackle serious issues like the relationship between Nancy and Steve or Nancy and Jonathan but I do feel like more could’ve been done since there’s an almost 2 year gap from season 4 to 5. Also do wish there could’ve been more characters interacting in the story but i supposed Lucas is just always with Max when’s he’s not at school and Dustin is grieving alone. I’ll say at least the characters that are in story are written very well and especially Robin and the very same for Nancy. The narrator does her best to distinguish each character to be their own. I’d say overall it’s just a fun little story that has no real pertinence to the plot but if you can’t wait till the rest of season 5 comes out, I’d say give this a listen

An absolutely great side story!

I had recently finished stranger things and felt that I couldn’t move on. I found this book online and tried it out. It was great. It kept me in suspense and then tied up everything in the end. There were also some great Easter eggs love the twist at the end.
