Stargazing is an adorable little middle-grade graphic novel that follows Moon and Christine, two Chinese-American kids that end up being neighbours. This book has so many shout-worthy things about it.
- the art is ADORABLE (we don't expect anything less from Jen Wang)
- biracial and health rep!
-friendship and emotions ❤
Absolutely this is a fantastic book for the age-range, just based on these things alone.
And yet, it did fall a little short for me. I don't know what was missing but I just wanted a little more. The storyline wasn't as engaging as I thought it could be overall, especially when considering the younger readers the book is aimed at.
But, overall, still a recommendation from me!
Thank you to the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

I am such a sucker for friendship love stories and this one did not disappoint. Jen Wang is a master of making me FEEL things. I am so glad that I picked this up and look forward to reading more from her.
