This month we're reading, Startgazing by Jen Wang.

Story blurb: 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?

This program includes a Teen Grab 'n' Go kit for grades 7-12. The first 12 teen registrants will receive an email from a Teen staff member (Beth, Teresa, Jackie or Chris) during Library hours (Monday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday 10am-5pm or Tuesday & Wednesday 1pm-8pm) to notify you of the 2-week pick-up window as well as the link to join our Discord meet-up discussion in February.

Teens: Please be sure to check your spam folder if you haven't heard from us within 48 hours. Registration for a Teen Grab ‘n’ Go kit starts on January 5th and will be available while supplies last. Registration can be done in-person or online. We will send 1 follow-up email reminder to teen registrants 1 week before the designated pick-up window ends. If you miss the 2-week pick-up window, we will assume you're no longer interested and will make your spot available for another interested teen. Thank you for your understanding.

If you miss out on our Teen Graphic Novel Grab 'n' Go kit but read the book & would like to join the conversation on our Teen Discord Server on February 10th at 4pm you can! Sign up to recieve *just* the Teen Discord link (open to grades 7-12 only) here: Teen Graphic Novel: "Stargazing" Discord Meet-Up.
