![]() I wish there were more people like her, not afraid to be who they are. It’s so sad that as soon as a character like Stargirl exists, people get skeptical and weirded out by it. Like a Margo Roth Spiegelman, without the attention complex. ![]() For such a short story, there’s so much there!Īll of the characters were wonderful! Minor characters really added something to the story as well, and made for a very well rounded cast. ![]() The pacing was wonderful and the writing style was edible. It’s a story of discovering who you really are, and not letting go of that, no matter how forced you feel to conform to what everyone else wants you to be. Leo witnesses Stargirl’s beauty and charm, and falls in love with her. Stargirl definitely flips between the two. People can’t seem to figure out if she’s the most popular girl at school, or if she’s an outsider. She gives gifts to strangers, has an odd fashion sense and cheers for all, regardless of whether or not they are on the home team or not. I guess you get that from her name! She plays the ukulele in the cafeteria on everyone’s birthday. Jerry Spinelli has somehow managed to create such a special book in under 200 pages that was so memorable. What’s Stargirl, you ask? Well, it’s basically a John Green book written before John Green books. The design is genius and really draws you in. Firstly, it’s got such an interesting cover, with no title or author, apart from the spine. I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
