![]() ![]() I grew tired of her pining over Leo, I grew tired of her rat, I grew tired of her infatuation with the summer solstice, I grew tired of her weird group of friends, and I finally grew tired of Stargirl herself. However, as I got further into "Love, Stargirl," I became increasingly frustrated with every page. ![]() Starting the sequel, I literally trembled with excitement, I was so happy to be back in Stargirl’s world again and to be reacquainted with her. By the time he realizes his mistake, Stargirl has left town, and that is the end of Stargirl for readers – until the sequel, "Love, Stargirl," which picks up with Stargirl in her new town. ![]() Her happy, if unconventional nature, is contagious, and Stargirl becomes Leo’s girlfriend, until he becomes embarrassed by her eccentricities, tries to change her, and eventually dumps her. She sings birthday songs to strangers, leaves coins for other people to find, and cheers for the other team. "Stargirl," written by Jerry Spinelli is an amazing young-adult novel, narrated by Leo Borlock, who becomes intrigued by this girl who has named herself Stargirl and is a bit of an oddball. Stargirl is one of my favorite characters I have ever met through the world of literature. ![]()
