Beautifully written graphic novel, full of Asian American culture and identity issues. And friendship.

This was cute, definitely for a younger audience, I was expecting a little more but it was still cute

A very sweet story about friendships. I wish there was more so I could get to know these characters better. Very beautifully illustrated

Kiva nuorille suunnattu sarjakuva nuoruudesta, ystävyydestä, erilaisuudesta, perheistä ja vakavasta sairaudesta myös.


Really enjoyed this comical and emotional story. It had me laughing out loud and gasping. It was great to see a contrast in Asian families being represented and coming together.

Stargazing is targeted towards younger readers, but don't let that discourage you from reading it. It's a simple, quick story and if you blink you'll miss its message. I almost did. Stargazing covers significant themes, such as homelessness, respecting different belief systems, differences in family make up, Asian parenting styles, friendship and illness.

After reading this book, I was left asking myself some of life's big questions. Who am I? What impact do I have to those around me? Am I accepting of people and their unique circumstances? While this book is aimed at a younger audience, it's message can be profound to anyone who'll read it. 4 stars to this book, purely because after reading it I'm still wondering, still thinking, and I just know I'll still be asking myself the same questions tomorrow.
