What is this book about? There
is a new girl at Mica High School who calls herself Stargirl Caraway. She was
different than everybody else and no seems to understand that. She wore different
clothes, and she has a pet rat she carries around in a bag that has a picture
of a Sunflower on it. Leo Borlock gets to know her Stargirl from his best
friend Kevin Quinlan. Leo and Kevin have a TV show which they want Stargirl on
but Kevin is afraid that Leo might be falling in love with Stargirl.
Has this book influenced
you in anyway? The saying "don't judge a book by it's cover" is
used a lot in this book. People judged Stargirl on the first day of school and
because of that that no one very tried to get to know her except Leo and Kevin.
It influenced me to be more open-minded about people.
Who would you recommend
this book to? Anyone
Why should they read
this book? I am sure most of you guys have had that moment when you don't fit
in. This book gives you an idea of what a normal teenage kids like us would do
and it's really mysterious and interesting.
How did you learn about
this book? Two years ago, a teacher recommended it to me.
Any other comments or
interesting facts about the book? The book Stargirl is based
on Leo's point of view. There is a second book called Love,Stargirl, which is
in Stargirl's point of view and it kind of a reply to Stargirl.
We have Love, Stargirl and other Jerry Spinelli books available for borrowing from the Library.
