"Stargazing for Beginners" was a lovely novel for younger teens. I loved that Meg was highly intelligent, nerdy and dreamt of being an astronaut one day. Her knowledge of all things space-related was truly impressive. I also liked the members of the Biscuit Club and the relationship they formed with each other.

However, I did have a couple of issues with the novel. The first was the behaviour of Meg's mother and grandfather. I found them to be selfish and irresponsible. The second issue with the book was that the characters were supposed to be in Year 10 but they felt and behaved much younger.

Elsa, Meg's baby sister, was my favourite character. She had me smiling on numerous occasions and I liked how Meg bonded with her throughout the course of the story. ( )
