Stargirl

Written by Jerry Spinelli

A book for readers in grades 7 and up reviewed by Mary

    

This story is about a high school boy named Leo. He lives in Mica, Arizona, where nothing interesting ever happens. One day in school, a mysterious girl named Stargirl catches his and everyone else’s eye. Leo has feelings for Stargirl, and Leo and Stargirl go on several adventures together.

This was a fantastic story. I loved how it showed that it is okay to be different and to show your true colors.
