Rebel Robin is a refreshing and honest take on what it's like to grow up as a queer teen in a small town. Seeing her grow into herself and discover what she wants from life felt like an authentic journey that you didn't want to end. I also appreciate that this novel told a new story while still weaving in characters and b-sides of moments that we know from the show.

A cute, fun Stranger Things novel! I loved getting a closer look on Robin‘s life before season 3. Also seeing other characters from the show pop up was really funny xD.

I absolutely loved Robin in the series and as soon as I found out there is a book about her I had to read it.

After season 3 it's no surprise that Robin is gay but I really enjoyed her way to figure it out.
I liked her friendship with Milton and Mr Hauser a lot and want to continue my language learning because of her enthusiasm.

To all who enjoyed the book as I did I highly recommend the scripted podcast Rebel Robin where her friendship with Mr Hauser is extended.
