Max Mayfield before Hawkins

Set before the season that introduces Max to the Stranger Things group, Runaway Max fills in her earlier life: a move from California to Indiana, an unfamiliar school, and a difficult relationship with her brother Billy. Skateboarding and the Dig Dug reference connect her backstory to the series, while the description places everyday upheaval alongside the show’s monsters. The book’s focus is on the experiences Max brings with her as she approaches a new home and a new place in Hawkins.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers of the Stranger Things series interested in Max Mayfield’s backstory.
  • A fit for teen and young adult readers seeking a media-tie-in novel.
  • For readers interested in stories about relocation, school, and family tension.

Book overview

Fans went wild for this gripping, emotional addition to the Stranger Things' universe after its successful launch! Fall into the never-before-told backstory of the beloved Dig Dug maven, Max Mayfield, written by New York Times bestselling author Brenna Yovanoff.

Meet Max. She's from California. She skateboards. Her family just dumped her in the middle of Indiana. And she's really not ready to call Hawkins her new home.

Whether she's facing off against her bully brother, Billy, the new kids at school, or monsters abound, Max tackles life with sass and grit. This must-read novel based on the hit Netflix series Stranger Things explores Max's past--with all the good and the bad it's given her--in the lead up to the thrilling season that introduces our favorite new member of the gang.
