“A moving journey of self-acceptance.” —Kirkus Reviews
Top Shelf Books describes Kazimir’s new YA novel as “an atmospheric and profound coming-of-age graphic novel about a Malaysian-American teen carving out her own identity in the uneasy space between friends and family.”
“It’s about queer lonely teens and sci fi novels and fandom and small towns!” —Kazimir

“Low Orbit is a tender and evocative graphic novel about the pain and joy of all our relationships. You will be drawn into Azar’s world with every page. An exquisite debut.” —Tillie Walden ‘16, Eisner Award-winning artist of ON A SUNBEAM and CCS faculty
