Description

What happens when someone refuses to be ordinary? In Stargirl, award-winning author Jerry Spinelli tells a heartwarming and thought-provoking story about individuality, acceptance, and the courage to be yourself.

When Stargirl Caraway arrives at Mica High School, she is unlike anyone the students have ever met. She wears unusual clothes, plays her ukulele, sings happy birthday to strangers, and performs unexpected acts of kindness. At first, everyone is fascinated by her, especially Leo Borlock, who finds himself falling in love with her.

But popularity can change quickly. When the students begin rejecting Stargirl for being different, Leo faces a difficult choice between fitting in and standing by the girl he loves.

This moving coming-of-age story explores the pressures of popularity, the importance of individuality, and the challenges of staying true to yourself.
