Description

Fans went wild for this gripping, emotional addition to the Stranger Things' universe after its successful launch! Fall into the never-before-told backstory of the beloved Dig Dug maven, Max Mayfield, written by New York Times bestselling author Brenna Yovanoff. Meet Max. She's from California. She skateboards. Her family just dumped her in the middle of Indiana. And she's really not ready to call Hawkins her new home. Whether she's facing off against her bully brother, Billy, the new kids at school, or monsters abound, Max tackles life with sass and grit. This must-read novel based on the hit Netflix series Stranger Things explores Max's past--with all the good and the bad it's given her--in the lead up to the thrilling season that introduces our favorite new member of the gang.

Good book to read if you’re a fan of the show.

We Stan Max Mayfied 💜
Format: Hardcover
Not a fan of the animal violence portrayed with Billy, but otherwise, an interesting read. I love the back story for Max and seeing her internal processes mapped out. Would have loved for it to continue past the end of the Snow Ball and into the later seasons, but it was written prior to that (maybe a sequel? 👀). ... show more

I love Max from Stranger Things!
Format: Kindle
I loved learning about Max's past before Hawkins. I also liked seeing into her thoughts and feelings about meeting Lucas and the rest of the gang in Hawkins. Her step-dad reminded me of mine and triggered some memories. If you love Stranger Things, you'll love this book. I highly recommend it!

Very nice
Format: Paperback
Bought for my little 11 year old sister who loves stranger things. It’s a chapter book so definitely best for older kids like 10+, in my opinion. The book was in perfect condition. I payed the same price as they did when they bought it on clearance at target. The package included a $10 off coupon for doordash! Which makes me feel better about paying for shipping (was only $3 to ship). I’d buy from this company again. ... show more
