Reviews

Praise for Please Be My Star:

★ "Erika's struggles with mental health strike an empathetic chord that will resonate with readers. The clean, inviting art features varied panel shapes and perspectives and highlights the characters' emotional expressions. Manga-style art animates this charming story of self-discovery." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review

★ "This sweet romance/coming-of-age combo incorporates a great mix of cross-cultural visual homages, including nods to manga, telenovelas, and k-pop stans. Readers will appreciate the vibrant color scheme throughout... Elliott thoughtfully captures the essence of being the weird kid among weird kids and finding connection not despite but because of that quirkiness." -- Booklist, starred review

"A dramatic comedy for teens who love theater and -romance." -- School Library Journal

"Encapsulates the anxiety of navigating a new school and new relationships, all while trying to live authentically." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"This is an affectionate depiction of high school theater teens, with a sympathetic heroine. The fluid graphics style captures the story perfectly." -- The Washington Post
