About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a major life transition, such as graduating to a new school or moving away from a close-knit group of friends. It is particularly helpful for kids who use humor or creative outlets to mask their anxieties about the future. Through the eyes of Christina Starspeeder, the story navigates the complexities of saying goodbye to one chapter while embracing the independence of the next. While set in the Star Wars universe, the heart of the narrative is grounded in the universal middle grade experience of balancing academic pressure, shifting social circles, and personal identity. The hybrid format of comics and journal entries makes it highly accessible for reluctant readers or those who process emotions better through visual storytelling. It provides a safe, low stakes environment to explore the bittersweet feelings of growing up and moving on.
