Description

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 Read more

    • Couldn’t put it down!
Incredible. The way Jerry Spinelli is so poetic, really an incredible read. I would recommend to young adults and old adults alike.

    • Picked out for Homeschool
This is an excellent story about a girl who thinks differently and changes a lot of people around her as a result. I picked it out to read to my son for 5th grade. It will be a great story to open his mind to new ideas.

    • intriguing characters and point of view
I didn't expect to love Stargirl. I had heard just enough about the nonconformity, "march to the beat of your own drummer" message that I expected it be a bit Pollyanna-ish. However, I did love this book -- everything about it. The characters, for me, were spot on. First of all, Leo. I never would have thought I would relate to a teenage boy, but again - I did. He is likeable and easy going. He is also intuitive about people and situations; when he starts to love Stargirl, so do I. Stargirl herself was, in my opinion, everything her character needed to be. Whimsical, individual, non-conforming, kind, generous, and a little bit weird. Her character is so well-written, as are all the other characters' reactions to her. Yes, the theme of this novel is nonconformity. Yes, the message is a good deal of be yourself, no matter what the price. However, at the end of the day, I think that's a message that every reader, YA or otherwise, can bear to be reminded of. ... show more

    • He’s a real disappointment.
A fantastic tale told from a young person’s viewpoint. I rated it a 4 because I was totally upset by the boy’s lack of understanding just how special star girl was to the school & especially to him. Perhaps I’ve gotten too old to appreciate his lack of appreciation for her at his age, but as maturity crept up on him he still didn’t try to find her. I’ve taught ninth grade over 30 years & thought I’d kept a handle on that age group, but maybe not. Anyway, from what I’ve read about the second book, I’ll not read it until I’m assured that there’s a third with a happy reunion in it. Remember they still exist in my mind & they deserve a happy ending. WTS ... show more

I bought a class set of this for my 7th graders and we are reading it and they're enjoying it.

I loved this book. Now it is one of my favorites! There are lessons to be learned, that is for sure. And you will need some tissues 💗

    • It was a delight to read again
Read this book a long time ago. Moved and left the book in our house so I didn't got to re-read it. I chose this for a book club so I had to order it again (cheaper than flying to my house). It was a delight to read again. I picked up so much more insight the second time around. For me this is a life changing book. Bullying happens (on various scales) and it is good to be aware. I also love Stargirl's character. If I could be like her then I would be doing pretty well-we all would. Such a poignant, well-written, timely, relevant little book. ... show more

    • Excellent Read for readers.
When I was younger, I remember reading this book. I had always been advanced in my reading level and I had always thought that books were a way for me to escape. So when I read this book, it made my imagination travel to many places and I really loved how this book allowed me to do that. Recently they came out with a movie adaptation of this book on Disney plus, I would highly recommend reading this book and then watching the movie or watching the movie and then reading the book. Whichever you decide. 10/10 would buy again. ... show more
