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.
