If you're looking for something with Stranger Things vibes, I highly recommend this! About a group of girls who suddenly get drawn into this time/space/otherwordly conflict. It feels like a Brian K. Vaughan comic to me, and I don't know why it took me so long to pick it up!
The writing is intriguing and with the way it ends, you'll definitely want to pick up the next volume. I'm also in love with the color palette, as it just works so well for the 80s vibe that this book is giving off. While the main characters are 12, I do think they read a little older than that. More teen than tween, honestly. But that doesn't hold me back as I'm sure I will grow to absolutely love them by the time I am finished!
