Summary
Discover the backstory of new Stranger Things fan favorite Robin--the perfect read for anyone looking forward to devouring the fourth season on Netflix--now available as a paperback！
High school is a monster， and it's eating everyone Robin knows。 It's the beginning of sophomore year， and Robin's Odd Squad friends couple up， won't stop talking about college and their future careers， and are 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 image--Robin likes girls。
How 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。

To be honest， I wasn't really expecting to get into this because I'm not even a big Robin fan， but I was pleasantly surprised。 I really enjoyed this and I'd even say it's my favorite Stranger Things tie-in novel so far。 It's not just for the fans， it's a nice coming of age story about a girl coming to terms with her identity。 3。5。 To be honest， I wasn't really expecting to get into this because I'm not even a big Robin fan， but I was pleasantly surprised。 I really enjoyed this and I'd even say it's my favorite Stranger Things tie-in novel so far。 It's not just for the fans， it's a nice coming of age story about a girl coming to terms with her identity。 3。5。 。。。more

I don’t think anyone really cared about Robins origins or her life before scoops， but honestly I’m so so glad they gave her this book！！！ I love how deep into her thoughts and emotions they go and it doesn’t necessarily correlate to the plot of Stranger Things itself but I love hearing （small parts） about seasons 1 and 2 from someone else’s point of view！ I also really enjoyed the side characters and her friend group that are also irrelevant to the plot of ST。 I definitely gained more respect for I don’t think anyone really cared about Robins origins or her life before scoops， but honestly I’m so so glad they gave her this book！！！ I love how deep into her thoughts and emotions they go and it doesn’t necessarily correlate to the plot of Stranger Things itself but I love hearing （small parts） about seasons 1 and 2 from someone else’s point of view！ I also really enjoyed the side characters and her friend group that are also irrelevant to the plot of ST。 I definitely gained more respect for Robin after reading this book！ I think the part that kept me wanting to read more was the fact that she was still coming to terms with being gay and it was so sweet and suspenseful going on that journey with her。 Her love letters to Tammy were incredibly romantic and I loved the soft side of her that we saw！ 。。。more

i just absolutely adore gay people， the way robins brain works is just perfect to me。 it all just makes so much sense。 hopefully they use some of this material in season 4！

I loved this book so much！I finished this in 2 days， I didn’t want to put it down。 Robin is by far my favourite character in ST and learning her backstory was really interesting。 The story was fast-paced and the internal dialogue was great。 Robin is such an awesome character and the author did an amazing job at showcasing who she is。MINOR SPOILERSI love the LGBTQIA+ rep， and the way this is written is real and beautiful。

This was a wonderful book！ This is all about Robin figuring out her sexuality and how the people in her school react to it。 She， being a teenager， decides to go to France since she is a polyglot。 She has a huge crush on some other girl but they don't end up together。 :（ This was a wonderful book！ This is all about Robin figuring out her sexuality and how the people in her school react to it。 She， being a teenager， decides to go to France since she is a polyglot。 She has a huge crush on some other girl but they don't end up together。 :（ 。。。more

What’s it like being gay during the 80s， but also not realizing that you’re gay？Rebel Robin shines light on Robin Buckley’s life before her appearance in season 3 of Stranger Things。It’s a cute story of self discovery; Robin comes to terms with having a crush on a girl and learns to be true to herself。It was cool seeing all the cameos of the other characters in the show， especially from Robin’s perspective。

First of all， sorry for my mistakes， but I am not native and I keep learning English。This is my very first book， which I read in English so I'm really excited 😁。 And of course it's gonna be unforgettable for me。 Also this book has a very good level of language to be "The first book" and it's quite easy to understand。 And ohh I just love it。 I am exactly at the same age as Robin is here， so for me it was really heartbreaking sometimes 'cuz I struggle with similar things。 And of course I love the First of all， sorry for my mistakes， but I am not native and I keep learning English。This is my very first book， which I read in English so I'm really excited 😁。 And of course it's gonna be unforgettable for me。 Also this book has a very good level of language to be "The first book" and it's quite easy to understand。 And ohh I just love it。 I am exactly at the same age as Robin is here， so for me it was really heartbreaking sometimes 'cuz I struggle with similar things。 And of course I love the show and the universe， so it was really fun to read more about it。 O， and I never thought that I could like Tam， but she's quite cool。Sooo， if you're thinking about reading this book， stop and let's do it！！！ 。。。more

This says it's number 4 in the series but that's a lie， you can straight up have no idea three books exist prior to this one and still have a good time - do watch the series first， though。 This is a great fleshing-out of Robin's character， very much a coming-of-age YA。 There's just about zero of the standard Stranger Things horror in this - it happens on the very fringes of the narrative， which makes sense because Robin isn't aware of the Upside Down and related fuckery when we meet her in seaso This says it's number 4 in the series but that's a lie， you can straight up have no idea three books exist prior to this one and still have a good time - do watch the series first， though。 This is a great fleshing-out of Robin's character， very much a coming-of-age YA。 There's just about zero of the standard Stranger Things horror in this - it happens on the very fringes of the narrative， which makes sense because Robin isn't aware of the Upside Down and related fuckery when we meet her in season 3。 The author took everything we were given about Robin in the show and built on it seamlessly - it never felt like a cheesy tie-in novel。 I will be looking up their other work。 （Be cool if we got a Sheena cameo in S4， too， but I won't hold my breath！） 。。。more

This book was only tangentially about Stranger Things。 It was actually the story of Robin， and I won't tell you any more because you should， if you are interested， go on her journey of discovery with her。 Nicely written。 This book was only tangentially about Stranger Things。 It was actually the story of Robin， and I won't tell you any more because you should， if you are interested， go on her journey of discovery with her。 Nicely written。 。。。more

This is a really nice book。 I can forgive it being slightly melodramatic as Robin is fifteen for the majority of it。 It's a pretty straightforward coming-of-age novel and the author managed to nail Robin's voice pretty well。 She was very easy to warm to and feel empathy towards （and I agree with Steve， she can do a lot better than that irritating melt， Tammy Thompson， who lost me as soon as I realised that she sings out loud IN class and not just at like， recess or whatever） particularly since h This is a really nice book。 I can forgive it being slightly melodramatic as Robin is fifteen for the majority of it。 It's a pretty straightforward coming-of-age novel and the author managed to nail Robin's voice pretty well。 She was very easy to warm to and feel empathy towards （and I agree with Steve， she can do a lot better than that irritating melt， Tammy Thompson， who lost me as soon as I realised that she sings out loud IN class and not just at like， recess or whatever） particularly since her parents seem to be phoning it in most of the time。The only parts I didn't enjoy were the parts where Robin interacted with pre-existing characters from the show like Joyce and Hopper。 Those moments felt like they were crammed in for the sake of fan service and were therefore jarringly unnatural， particularly this one scene with Hopper wherein his voice is very off。Also， why IS Steve in Robin's history class when he's a year ahead of her？ 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I really do love Robin Buckley。 Seeing her journey in the time frame of the earlier seasons really fleshed out her character for me。 I loved getting to read Robin and Steve’s “first” interaction， her being so adamant that they’ll never be friends made me very happy considering how season 3 ends！

De verwachtingen voor dit boek lagen hoog， maar werden helaas niet ingelost。 Ik vond het boek zelfs een beetje saai en minder goed dan het boek over Max （beide boeken werden elk ook door een andere auteur geschreven）。 Jammer， want Robin is een interessant personage。
