This graphic novel was a wonderful story about two very different girls who find each other. Christine is from a very traditional Chinese-American family. She is expected to do well in school, take Chinese lessons and play the violin. Caring about clothes and nail polish and hanging out with friends are not encouraged. Then Moon moves in to their garage apratment. She gets in trouble for fighting, paints her nails, goes to concerts and lives a very different life with more freedoms. Christine is confused that they can have the same cultural background yet live so differently. When Moon has a health crisis, Christine feels guilt about her behavior towards Moon. Moon ultimately encourages her to be herself. (GN WAN)
