Stranger Things: Lucas on the Line

Step inside the world of Hawkins, Indiana, and meet a fan-favorite like never before. This is Lucas Sinclair’s story.

For everyone who’s ever felt like an outsider, this one hits home.

Lucas is tired of standing on the sidelines. With Max wrapped up in her own troubles and Will and El gone from town, he’s left without anyone to lean on—and after years of fighting monsters, dodging spies, and surviving the chaos at Starcourt, he could really use a friend.

Then high school begins. Suddenly, Lucas has options beyond D&D and dodging bullies. After connecting with a fellow player on the basketball team—one of the few other Black students at school—Lucas starts to understand what it means to be a Black teen in Indiana. All while his town gets pulled, once again, toward the dark.

Will he find his place in Hawkins in time to save it?

Penned by Suyi Davies, contributor to the New York Times bestselling anthology Black Boy Joy, this is a thoughtful, heartfelt exploration of love, friendship, and identity set within the beloved Stranger Things universe.

It’s perfect for young readers (and grown-up fans) who crave a story with real emotional depth beneath all the supernatural thrills.

So grab a copy, find a cozy corner, and settle in. Out here, with the salt air drifting in and the floorboards creaking softly underfoot, there’s no better place to linger over a good read.

Just don’t forget to look over your shoulder. You never know what’s lurking in the Upside Down.
