This is the sequel to Stargirl. Stargirl is writing a journal entry almost every day to Leo, the boy she loved. She tells him about her new 5-year-old friend Dootsie and Betty Lou, an old lady who doesn’t leave her house. She goes on several adventures with Dootsie and brings her community closer.

I loved this book so much. It shows how people of different ages can be close friends.

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.
