Alina "the freak" Fairgrieves always thought she'd make it through her school years without making a friend, spending her days reading comics, going on tours in the Lab where her father works, and playing with her cat, Skywalker. But then she sees something she wasn't supposed to, and her life takes a drastic turn. Now the only way to get answers is to team up with three of the biggest losers in Hawkins Middle-- Lucas Sinclair, Dustin Henderson, and Mike Wheeler.

Alina thinks it'll be a disaster-- and she's right, of course, but one of the losers in particular makes an impression on her, which is embarrassing, considering they have a certain... history together. But that's not all. Add in a missing boy, newfound abilities, and a monster from a parallel universe and you have a recipe for disaster. 

Or a recipe for friendship. It depends on who you ask.

warnings!

this story contains child abuse, a graphic death, racism, and homophobia

this book is a slow burn! alina and lucas are barely friends at the beginning, so it makes sense for them to take it slow. 

also contains: cats, a girl who isn't immediately invited into the party, star wars references, adorable friendships, and mystery solving!
