Stargazing
Quiet Chinese American student Christine befriends exuberant new neighbor Moon, whose confidence, music, and imaginative spirit widen Christine's carefully managed world. Their closeness is tested by jealousy and by Moon's insistence that celestial beings speak to her through visions. A medical emergency reveals a frightening explanation, forcing Christine to reconsider the resentment she feels toward a friend whose gifts seemed effortless. Tender and visually warm, this graphic novel suits readers who enjoy nuanced friendships, family and cultural identity, childhood jealousy, and stories about learning that love can survive feelings people are ashamed to admit.
