Booktalk: Tamen longs to see the stars, but none are visible in the light-polluted sky above the fire escape of his urban apartment building. Even in the neighborhood park, the stars are hidden by city lights. Then on a Friday afternoon, Tamen’s mom, a nightshift nurse, finds a way to take him camping. For one magical night on the shore of a wilderness pond, the Milky Way in all its glory belongs to them.

Snippet: Tamen devoured his new comic book. vowing that someday he would travel the galaxy just like Skywatcher. He looked for the stars from his bedroom window, but only the city lights gleamed back at him.
