"Stargazing"
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.

"The Prince and the Dressmaker"
PARIS, AT THE DAWN OF THE MODERN AGE:
PRINCE SEBASTIAN IS LOOKING FOR A BRIDE—OR RATHER, HIS PARENTS ARE LOOKING FOR ONE FOR HIM. SEBASTIAN IS TOO BUSY HIDING HIS SECRET LIFE FROM EVERYONE. AT NIGHT HE PUTS ON DARING DRESSES AND TAKES PARIS BY STORM AS THE FABULOUS LADY CRYSTALLIA—THE HOTTEST FASHION ICON IN THE WORLD CAPITAL OF FASHION!
SEBASTIAN’S SECRET WEAPON (AND BEST FRIEND) IS THE BRILLIANT DRESSMAKER FRANCES—ONE OF ONLY TWO PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE TRUTH: SOMETIMES THIS BOY WEARS DRESSES. BUT FRANCES DREAMS OF GREATNESS, AND BEING SOMEONE’S SECRET WEAPON MEANS BEING A SECRET. FOREVER. HOW LONG CAN FRANCES DEFER HER DREAMS TO PROTECT A FRIEND? JEN WANG WEAVES AN EXUBERANTLY ROMANTIC TALE OF IDENTITY, YOUNG LOVE, ART, AND FAMILY. A FAIRY TALE FOR ANY AGE, THE PRINCE AND THE DRESSMAKER WILL STEAL YOUR HEART.
