Reviews
"A unique journey that doesn't turn away from hard truths; courageously honest and vulnerable." --Iasmin Omar Ata, the Ignatz Award-winning creator of Mis(h)adra "Constellations is a gut punch for anyone who grew up as a delinquent queer kid, desperately trying to become a monster in a world that treats us like monsters. Glasheen's watercolors shine with the clarity of memory, bringing us into a real 1986 that feels present, reminding us that the pain of interpersonal trauma is both historical and modern. We're reminded that queerness, too, is both historical and modern, and that becoming your authentic self will always be healing, and will always bring us together." --Priya Huq, cartoonist of Piece by Piece: The Story of Nisrin's Hijab, "This solo debut--a fictionalized, somewhat autobiographical accounting, as indicated in an author's note--explores its protagonist's struggles to be a part of their family and community while learning to accept themself, potently reflecting on themes of addiction, healing, and identity." -- Publishers Weekly , Starred Review "A multifaceted must-have for young adult readers looking to better grasp the intersection of addiction and identity." -- Booklist , Starred Review "Glasheen ends with a quiet observation that even if the reader is not hurting as much as Claire, there is connectivity in that we all are carrying something that, if left untended or unspoken, could become too heavy to hold." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "A brutal story with glimmers of hope shining through. . . ." --Kirkus Reviews "A unique journey that doesn't turn away from hard truths; courageously honest and vulnerable." --Iasmin Omar Ata, the Ignatz Award-winning creator of Mis(h)adra "Heartfelt and realistic, and painted in beautiful, lively watercolors-- Constellations pulls no punches about the realities of navigating addiction and bullying as a teen, while also honoring the people who help us to survive and grow along the way." --Melanie Gillman, creator of As the Crow Flies and Other Ever Afters "Constellations is a gut punch for anyone who grew up as a delinquent queer kid, desperately trying to become a monster in a world that treats us like monsters.

Synopsis
A raw graphic novel debut about a queer teen living in the margins who is determined to find their way ahead. Are you supposed to be a boy or a girl? It's a question that follows Claire everywhere. Inescapable on the street, in school, and even at home. A black hole forever trying to pull them in. Claire knows what they're supposed to be--and according to their Catholic family, that's definitely not someone who'd kiss a girl at a party. When the news gets out, the questions get hard: Is Claire having a girlfriend the thing that feels wrong? Or is it being a girl? The answer is easy: drink it all away. When a downward spiral puts Claire on a collision course with court-ordered rehab, the unexpected happens: Claire is soon surrounded by a group of new friends and, with the help of a patient counselor, finds a space to unpack all the bad they've experienced. But as Claire's release gets closer so does the question: Can Claire stay sober and true in a world seemingly never made for them? Set in 1980s Troy, New York, Constellations is a portrait of a queer teen living in the margins but determined to find their way ahead. Done in watercolor and ink, debut author-artist Kate Glasheen has created a world where strong lines meet soft color, and raw emotions meet deep thought in this story of hope, humor, and survival.
