Stranger Things: Rebel Robin

By: A. R. Capetta

Narrated by: Dani Martineck

High school is a monster, and it's eating everyone Robin knows. Discover the backstory of the new Stranger Things fan favorite character, Robin, played by Maya Hawke!

It's the beginning of sophomore year, and Robin's Odd Squad friends have decided: this time, they're going to fit in. They couple up, they won't stop talking about college and their future careers, and they're 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 carefully controlled image--something she's only just now realizing: Robin likes girls.

How exactly 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.

No monsters. Other than the high school monster.

I adore Robin. I enjoyed the book. I enjoyed getting to know her. If you are looking for monsters you won’t find the supernatural kind…only the natural kind. Teens. Her path crosses with other Stranger Things characters but she is dealing with her own life and struggles. A coming of age type book and learning about yourself. The narrator kicked ass as Robin.

Loving these prequels

I love the backstories these novels give for different characters. Rebel Robin is a great one, with the narrator capturing her deadpan and sarcastic sense of humor perfectly, and she discovers her sexuality.

great book

this is a great book from the voice actor they choosed this story is not for a person that wants a normal villain but great for someone that wants a nice rollercoaster of a story

Loved it

Very mature book recommendation 13 and over but very good over all. 10/10 would recommend

Not At All What I Expected

Fantastic Book! I came from the Rebel Robin Podcast Drama and it was not at all what I expected. This was a first introduction to Stranger Things for me and I do intend on watching the show now. I understand that the show is a bit more action packed, but if the story telling is just as good, I know I'll enjoy it.
