Stargazing
by Jen Wang
Even after having finished this book, I really have no idea what is is about. The cover makes a reader think light hearted mg graphic novel about two best friends. But that is not exactly what is inside. Kids are afraid of the girl Moon because she is mean. Moon moves into an apartment behind Christine’s house and gets to know Moon. There is dancing, being a girl, etc, and the beginnings of a friendship. But the book is all over the place. The title is never really explained, and the characters never go stargazing. I think it's a play on Moon believing she is one with the stars, and Christine gazing upon her. But you also have a wacky terrible surprise ending that comes out of almost nowhere but doesn't really end either. Much of this is based on the author's life while not being autobiographical. It seems more like an amalgamation of scenes then a full story.
