Stargirl
By: Jerry Spinelli
She was elusive. She was today. She was tomorrow. She was the first scent of a cactus flower, the flitting shadow of an elf owl. We did not know what to make of her. In our minds we tried to pin her to corkboard like a butterfly, but the pin merely went through and she flew away.
Stargirl is a book about an enigmatic girl who is not afraid to be herself. She sends people cards, she sings for them on their birthday, she cheers for the other team when they score a goal, and everyone hates her. Everyone, except a shy boy named Leo Borlock.
Told from Leo's point of view, this heartwarming story is about finding your identity and accepting people for who they really are.
It's a good read for all ages. Jerry Spinelli packs so much in so few pages, it's incredible. It feels like you've read a 300 page book, instead of a book that is not even 200 pages. You can read this book in one sitting or spread it over a long period of time. When you finish Stargirl, you can read Love, Stargirl, the sequel. It is written in Stargirl's point of view. Personally, I haven't read Love, Stargirl yet, but I can't wait to. Stargirl is an amazing book, and I hope you read it!
