About this item

Product details

ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 BEST YA BOOKS OF ALL TIME - NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A modern-day classic from Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli, this beloved celebration of individuality is now an original movie on Disney+! And don't miss the author's highly anticipated new novel, Dead Wednesday! 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. Don't miss the sequel, Love, Stargirl , as well as The Warden's Daughter , a novel about another girl who can't help but stand out. "Spinelli is a poet of the prepubescent. . . . No writer guides his young characters, and his readers, past these pitfalls and challenges and toward their futures with more compassion." -- The New York Times

Good storytelling for yougsters and adults as well

I have found that Stargirl is a great story on virtue and morals and teaches the importance of true goodness and kindness and to not allow anyone, anything, nor any place cause you to loose or miss out on who you are created to be in this world. This story is based on real life situations. I strongly recommend this paper back book for anyone that's a reader, or beginner reader. I ordered this book for my 12 year old daughter, and she likes reading stories.

Amazing

It's from the viewpoint of an average teenage boy, who meets this girl he doesn't understand. Shes beautiful and different, and doesnt really fit in. The student body costantly tries to humiliate her, but she just goes with it. I won't say anymore, for fear of giving away the ending, but its honestly amazing.
