There’s nothing to be ashamed of, Lucas,” she says. “Plenty of high schoolers get dropped off by their moms. Mrs. Miller from two streets down drops off her daughter. Also, Mrs. Harris down the same corner. Drops off her son and two of his friends. They seem fine with it.” Dive into this revealing portrait of Stranger Things fan favorite Lucas Sinclair and get to know Lucas like never before.The Netflix series, Stranger Things, a well-written mix of nostalgia, horror and science fiction. It is also fortunately a jumping off point for an entire universe of entertainment. One of the greatest slices of this universe is the companion novels that focus on individual characters. Over the show’s first four seasons, the cast has grown and (even with long run times for each episode) not every character gets their time in the spotlight. I’m sure they’d rather take the bus.” I look out the window. “At least pull over here, lemme meet up with Dustin and Mike before I walk in. You want me to go in alone on my first day of high school?” When he meets Jay his mentor for high school they instantly connect and Lucas wants to be friends with him. Jay suggests to Lucas that he should join the basketball team and he wasn’t sure at first but then he decides to signs up for try outs! Lucas is also struggling because his friends, Mike and Dustin don’t want him to do basketball because it takes him away from them and they spend less time together. They blame him for the party falling apart. Who says it’s Steve?” Dustin pats at the hair, as if that’ll make it shorter or less curly. “And so what if it’s him?” Max is also avoiding him and not opening up about how she’s feeling. They all changed since what happened on Fourth of July it’s like as Lucas said, a part of all of them died that day. Lucas and Max’s break up in this book hurt as well! It was so well written and gives you more of an understanding of why they broke up that we didn’t get to see in the show. They still care about each other but both hurting and going through a lot at the moment.

Lucas on the Line – Nick Kelly Book Review: Lucas on the Line – Nick Kelly

I’ve always loved Lucas and he has been one of my favorite characters since season 1! I’ve been looking forward to this book ever since it was announced and it exceeded my expectations! The writing was amazing and we finally get to know what Lucas is thinking, how he feels and what he has been going through. He wants high school to be different and doesn’t want to have to go through getting bullied anymore and he wants to make new friends. Well, you’ve made some changes too,” he says, pointing to my bandana-less head. “Face it. We both know high school is brutal, and we’re both trying to make sure we start on the right foot.” Mike already wears his ready-made scowl as he comes toward us. Unlike us, and expectedly, he has made no changes to his appearance. Not even to his general moping, which began from the second we learned that Will and El will not be joining us for the school year because the Byerses are moving permanently to California. El’s going with them. Right after the Starcourt debacle, they left with Dr. Owens to go make arrangements for their new living situation. We haven’t seen or heard anything about them for a while—for safety reasons or whatever. That and the general gloom of the mall disaster has turned Mike into the worst person to be around. Dive into this revealing portrait of Stranger Things fan favorite Lucas Sinclair and get to know Lucas like never before. The thrilling adventure of Stranger Things continues where season three left off, with fan favorite Lucas Sinclair finally telling his own story in his own words.

We see themes of oppression and marginalization explored with Eddie’s character and I wish Lucas was included in that. Instead, he is reduced to a side character when he has so much depth. Yeah, right, that,” I say. “Not sure Max and I are in the same lovey-dovey place you guys are, though. It’s been weird with us since Starcourt. She’s been weird.”
