Stargirl is by Jerry Spinelli. A unique study in what it's like to be different. Stargirl has been home schooled for most of her life and has no idea of conformity. She wears pioneer type dresses, no make up, meditates, knows peoples birthdays, and makes people feel good about themselves. Leo, the 16 year old narrator of the book, finds himself her boyfriend, and as such is completely alienated from the rest of the school. It dawns on him that he has to choose, Stargirl or his friends and respect.
Ratings: 7th grade - 10 out of 10.
