Stargazing
by Jen Wang
Jen Wang does such a great job with realistic characters and interactions. Christine is suffering from feeling like she isn't "good enough" by not being the absolute best at everything as her strict parents constantly remind her. But when Moon and her mother move in to their detached mother-in-law suite Moon and Christine start to become friends. Moon is many things Christine is not, and Christine begins to rely on Moon to help her out of shell, as well as soften her strict parents to things like painting nails. However, Christine has to learn to deal with her jealousy of Moon having other friends, and also being supportive when bad things happen.
Such a heartfelt story of friendship as tweens. The ending is a bit unexpected, but that is how things happen in real-life so it's no surprise. Great for representation of Asian Americans and Jen Wang uses her own experiences as a child in this graphic novel.
