Stranger Things: Choose Your Own Adventure

This Stranger Things: Heroes and Monsters Choose Your Own Adventure is such a fun tribute to those old CYOA paperbacks, with loads of Stranger Things side quests to explore, until you inevitably get killed off in some of the bad endings. I liked this one a lot for the nostalgia factor, it’s a good fit for the retro nerdiness of the TV show. (there’s also a Stranger Things/D&D graphic novel, the show kind of alludes to the boys playing D&D, so it was fun to see them taking Eleven on a tabletop adventure) Besides the retro vibes, I enjoyed the chance to peek at some of the action happening offscreen in the Stranger Things TV show, and follow different leads.

Did you read choose-your-own-adventure books when you were a kid?

Had no idea these Stranger Things books were a thing. I remember loving those choose-your-own-adventure Goosebumps books as a kid though!

This sounds fun. I haven't watched Stranger Things but I like the idea.

  I think it would still be fun if you liked CYOA books as a kid, but it connects to the show really well!

Sounds interesting. I prefer the more prominent themes this book deals with rather than the romance.
