A heartfelt middle-grade graphic novel about friendship, family, and finding your place in the universe, perfect for fans of Frizzy and Mexikid , from New York Times bestselling creator Jen Wang.

Moon is everything Christine isn't. She's confident, impulsive, artistic . . . and though they both grew up in the same Chinese-American suburb, Moon is somehow unlike anyone Christine has ever known.

But after Moon moves in next door, these unlikely friends are soon best friends, sharing their favorite music videos and painting their toenails when Christine's strict parents aren't around. Moon even tells Christine her deepest secret: that she has visions, sometimes, of celestial beings who speak to her from the stars. Who reassure her that earth isn't where she really belongs.

Moon's visions have an all-too-earthly root, however, and soon Christine's best friend is in the hospital, fighting for her life. Can Christine be the friend Moon needs, now, when the sky is falling?

Inspired by her own childhood, New York Times bestselling creator Jen Wang delivers a deeply moving graphic novel about the power of friendship, the complexities of growing up, and finding hope even in life's darkest moments. Stargazing is an unforgettable story that celebrates empathy, resilience, and the people who help us shine.
