Summary: Stargirl
Comment: The characters in this wonderful story jump out of the book, bypass your brain and go straight to your heart. Leo, the narrator feels very much like every high school student must feel, and it is portrayed perfectly in the text. Every single experience he has rings true, from his good moments to the ones where, if he were standing before me I would have punched him square in the mouth.
The title character Stargirl Caraway is an amazing bouncing creative individual in a mass of conforming teenagers. She wears outrageous outfits but not because they are revealing or shocking, because they hold more personality than all of the clothing in the school could dream of. She takes the school by storm, but after the storm passes there is trouble.

Summary: Is There Anything Else Kids Really Need to Learn?
Comment: I'm mostly weighing in with stars in order to counter the 1 star folks, who appear to have completely missed the point. Others have covered the book well already. It is a great young adult book. If kids could just clue in to being brave enough to live their lives without being scared of what their peers say, and to live those lives in ways that bless others, the world would be so much better. That's what Stargirl is about. Maybe as a suggestion, this book will prompt a few people in that direction. Regardless, it's good to read.

Editorial Reviews:

Stargirl. From the day she arrives at quiet Mica High in a burst of color and sound, the hallways hum with the murmur of “Stargirl, Stargirl.” She captures Leo Borlock’s heart with just one smile. She sparks a school-spirit revolution with just one cheer. The students of Mica High are enchanted. At first.
Then they turn on her. Stargirl is suddenly shunned for everything that makes her different, and Leo, panicked and desperate with love, urges her to become the very thing that can destroy her: normal. In this celebration of nonconformity, Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli weaves a tense, emotional tale about the perils of popularity and the thrill and inspiration of first love.
From the Hardcover edition.
