Read it in a day, liked it well enough. Not as spectacular as your fifth grade teacher said it was, but that’s what you get for choosing to read it 10 years late. ( ![]() Cool characters!I loved the story too. Typical Suburban High School in Mica Arizona... Enter Stargirl, a homeschooled, free-spirit, do-gooder. She does not care what people think, actually I don't think she notices what people think, that is until Leo points it out. She is pondered, she is loved, she is hated. Bottom line she makes a difference. She walks around with her pet rat, her ukulele, and an intense kindness for others. She's not like anyone else, until she is.... It seems like most people have either given this 5 stars or 1 or 2, so I guess it's weird that I am so middle of the road on this one. But I just am. I didn't not like it, but I didn't love it. The message was cool. It's hard to be yourself, but it's worth it. I guess I just wanted more from Leo. I have higher standards for the character narrating the book. I don't feel like he ever had that breakthrough moment that he should've had. Why didn't he go into the dance and dance with her?!? That was crap. It was a nice short read with a good message, but I just wish Leo had a little more backbone. He needed to accept her and realize that by him trying to change her, he was wrong, and I never truly felt that from him. I don't think I'll read [b:Love, Stargirl|846984|Love, Stargirl (Stargirl, #2)|Jerry Spinelli|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320395760s/846984.jpg|23288] because I really don't want to know her perspective of Leo, I think I've already made up my mind on him. My Blog: http://pinkpolkadotbookblog.blogspot.com/ Well that was beautifully sad. Jerry takes us on an emotional journey in this book about non-conformity and acceptance. Yes it is trope filled. Yes there are plenty of archetypal high school characters. However, the story is all heart. I want to say this is purely a work of fiction, but I have been around long enough to see quite a few Stargirls transform into cookie cutter Barbies. Wonderfully read by the late John Ritter. I think I've moved too far out of the target demographic to really appreciate this book. It was a good read but I wish the book had been around ten years earlier. A nice message about herd mentality, individuality, and doing what you think is right.
I honestly recommend this novel to young girls or mostly anyone that is struggling with embracing themselves and having fear being different from others. Stargirl is the new girl in Mica High School, and she is quite different from the other students. She stands out a lot in the crowd because they think she weird for a variety of reasons. Fitting in a new school environment is very difficult because we all want people to like us. But people don't see the unique person we are they just judge us constantly. After, months she decides to pretend as hard to be just like the others. Also, Leo wants her to be like the other girls because he is concerned about popularity and who talks to him. She feels peer pressure and changes her style and the way she acts. She was hoping that people will notice the change and it will have a huge impact in her popularity but that was not the case. Overall, the novel “Stargirl” is inspirational and has themes that teens are enduring. My favorite parts are when Sartgirl doesn't let people get to her by saying mean stuff just because she is different. And she is not embarrassed or even cares that she is different.
