Told through the eyes of 15-year-old Xiao Guang, When the Stars Blossom on a Tree is an enormously popular story of truly enduring friendships that heal when broken, provide strength during times of despair, and give unwavering comfort when life seems almost too cruel to bear. A typical teenager, Xiao Guang loves to write, dance, and spend time with her best friend, Rongrong. Their circle of friends soon grows to include four girls and five boys. Together, the group finds a serene and secluded island and claim it as their own special place, promising to be friends forever. The island is a paradise for the young friends, but realities of life begin to intervene. Sadly, Rongrong and Xiao Guang have a terrible falling out. While Xiao Guang does everything she can to repair their friendship, she becomes the target of a relentless bully, leaving her feeling humiliated and alone. But old promises are never forgotten, and when a boy in their friendship circle falls ill, everyone in the group reunites to be by his side, proving that no matter what obstacles life brings, friendships truly can last forever.
