Overview
A modern-day classic and New York Times bestseller that celebrates the power of individuality and personal expression from beloved Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli. Stargirl. From the day she arrives at quiet Mica High in a burst of color and sound, the hallways hum with the murmur of "Stargirl, Stargirl." She captures Leo Borlock's heart with just one smile. She sparks a school-spirit revolution with just one cheer. The students of Mica High are enchanted. At first. Then they turn on her. Stargirl is suddenly shunned for everything that makes her different, and Leo, panicked and desperate with love, urges her to become the very thing that can destroy her: normal. In this celebration of nonconformity, Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli weaves a tense, emotional tale about the perils of popularity and the thrill and inspiration of first love. Don't miss the sequel, Love, Stargirl, and Jerry Spinelli's latest novel, The Warden's Daughter, about another girl who can't help but stand out. "Spinelli is a poet of the prepubescent. . . . No writer guides his young characters, and his readers, past these pitfalls and challenges and toward their futures with more compassion." --The New York Times

If you want a satisfying ending do not read this book!
Lauren M. - 6 years 3 months agoI thought this book was really good and I have to admit, I couldn’t put the book down. I thought that Stargirl herself was amazing and well-I won’t spoil it for you. You might be asking, if I liked it so much, why not 5 stars? I have to tell you, I did not like the ending and I would honestly love a second book-but I doubt that’s going to happen. #SummerReading

Stargirl
LUPE F. - 6 years 4 months agoA rare book that I talk back to the characters as they are real people. The story makes my heart ache.
