Millie Bobby Brown, known for her breakout work on Stranger Things, has revealed a new chapter in her creative journey: she is writing a debut novel titled Nineteen Steps, with coverage from Just Jared Jr. highlighting the exciting move from screen to page for the 19 year old star.
The project, which is planned for release at the end of 2023, invites readers into a historical tapestry inspired by real events tied to Brown’s family history. The actor has spoken candidly about drawing from personal threads to shape a narrative that resonates with readers while maintaining a clear sense of dramatic storytelling.

Nineteen Steps follows an 18-year-old heroine named Nellie Morris, who resides with her family in London’s East End during the tumultuous years of World War II. A life altered by a single, tragic night during an air raid forms the catalyst for Nellie’s courageous path, as she navigates danger, resilience, and the resilience of community in a city under siege.
