Stargazing

In "Stargazing," Jen Wang crafts a warm and insightful graphic novel for First Second, exploring the complexities of friendship and cultural identity through the bond between two young girls. This single-volume story, published in 2019, centers on Christine and Moon, whose contrasting personalities and family backgrounds shape a poignant narrative about understanding and growing up. Wang’s tender storytelling and expressive art make it a standout work in contemporary middle-grade comics.
