Stranger Things: One Way or Another, a new novel following Nancy and Robin after the events of “Stranger Things” Season 4, will be published on December 2 via Random House.
Billed as “A Nancy Wheeler Mystery,” the book appears to be done in the spirit of vintage Nancy Drew mysteries.
One Way or Another is authored by Caitlin Schneiderhan, a “Stranger Things” staff writer who previously penned 2023’s Eddie Munson prequel novel Stranger Things: Flight of Icarus.
In the new story, Hawkins, Indiana, is in recovery. It’s been two months since Vecna’s earthquake tore through the town, and its residents are still reeling from the devastation.
Nancy Wheeler has spent every waking minute on the hunt for Vecna, but he’s continued to elude her. How can she head to Emerson for college in the fall if Hawkins is still under the influence of the Upside Down?
When fellow classmate Joey Taft starts acting shifty at graduation, Nancy is convinced Vecna’s found his newest victim. Joined by fellow amateur sleuth Robin Buckley, Nancy doesn’t waste any time questioning Joey.
What the girls discover leads them down the path of a bigger story than The Hawkins Post could ever have assigned Nancy.
Why are people around town suddenly getting sick? Why is there a strange man tailing Nancy as she investigates? And, most important, does this even have anything to do with the Upside Down?
“Stranger Things” concludes with its fifth season on Netflix in three parts: four episodes on November 26, three episodes on December 25, and the series finale — also in theaters — on December 31. Each volume releases at 5pm PT/8pm ET.
