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.
