Moon es todo lo que Christine no es: impulsiva, segura y creativa. A pesar de haber crecido en la misma comunidad chino-americana, no pueden ser más distintas, pero en cuanto Moon se muda al lado de su casa ambas se convierten en las mejores amigas, compartiendo su pasión por el K-Pop y pintándose las uñas cuando sus padres no miran. Un día, Moon le cuenta a Christine su secreto mejor guardado: en ocasiones tiene visiones, unos destellos en forma de ángeles que le susurran un mensaje desde las estrellas: la tierra no es realmente el lugar al que pertenece. Sin embargo, las visiones de Moon tienen un origen más terrenal de lo que cabría pensar, y de repente es ingresada en el hospital para una intervención quirúrgica de urgencia. Podrá realmente ser Christine la amiga que Moon necesita ahora que todo se viene abajo? Jen Wang viaja a la infancia para crear una entrañable historia de amistad verdadera, una amistad que supera todas las dificultades imaginables y se convierte en pura emoción y esperanza.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Stargazing is a heartwarming middle-grade graphic novel in the spirit of Real Friends and El Deafo, from New York Times bestselling author-illustrator 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?

Jen Wang draws on her childhood to paint a deeply personal yet wholly relatable friendship story that's at turns joyful, heart-wrenching, and full of hope.
