Why read it?
1 author picked Stargazing as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love Stargazing! On its surface, Stargazing is about friendship and family but it has many layers, making it the perfect book to read again and again. The story of Christine and Moon touches on the diverse experiences of growing up Asian in America, jealousy & conflict, social expectations & feeling comfortable in your own skin, and a little bit of magic.

From Marla's list on graphic novels that tackle tough topics.
