adventurous challenging dark emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

This was an incredibly written and beautifully illustrated graphic novel. 

With such an important and relevant story to tell, the graphic novel route was a great choice. Having the visuals to go along with the text and speech throughout only gives the reader a more in-depth experience with a situation that thousands and thousands of people in the world experience.

'When Stars Are Scattered' took me on a journey with two brothers and with my emotions. It is both a powerful and educational story and I loved every single moment of this reading experience.
