Stargirl
by Jerry Spinelli
This book is about a girl named Stargirl, (and yes, that is her real name) and guy named Leo. Stargirl is going to a real school for the first time, she’s been home schooled all her life. When she first goes to Mica High School everyone thinks she’s some sort of freak. She wears long dresses and no make-up and plays the ukulele and has a pet rat.
Then Leo realizes he likes her, I mean like likes her, but he's embarrassed about it. Before we knew it they were considered boyfriend and girlfriend. After a while Leo starts think that people are excluding him because he's dating Stargirl, so he tries to change her, and tries to make her more ‘normal’. Pretty soon she’s Susan, the normal, popular cheer leading teenage girl. Stargirl doesn’t like being Susan, she finds it boring. When Leo finds this out, he encourages her to change back. After this happens, everything goes back to normal and it’s great! That is, until Stargirl moves away and Leo thinks that he may never see her again.
I loved this book! It is creative, fun and really entertaining. I would recommend it to (almost) anyone. The second book is even better, but it makes no sense if you don't read the first.
