Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli Book Summary

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

It’s alright.. In my opinion the book was alright. Since I am not really the type of person who wants to fit in all the time I could not really identify with the protagonist which bothered me throughout the book. Also I thought that Stargirl and Leo acted like twelf year olds instead of juniors. Might be just my opinion but all in all nicely written.

Such an amazing book!. I read it back in 7th grade and it was ok. I read it again a few days ago and now I understand it. It's so heartwarming and touching, I almost was in tears at the end! I loved it. Would definitely recommend it!

star girl. its amazing!!!!!!

I love star girl!!!!!!!!. Star girl is awesome and I suggest it to any one!!!!!!

Boring. I could not get into this book. I have no other words. Goodbye.

I love this book. I love how she expresses herself 👏

Cutest Book ever. The ending was very cute&the story was just overall funny sometimes sad and adorable :)

Sambighugs111. It is a great book! A book you can really relate too and never get bored of reading :) I really recommend it

Stargirl. This should be a movie and it would win a oscars

Summer reading made easy 👌💕. Great book I had to read this for my summer reading school project and I love this book it's addicting . I'll probably get the sequel and that's not even apart of my school project I'll just get it for fun . 😊💕

Makes you believe in mankind. This book was a read along with my 11year old. However, I found myself flipping though the pages faster than I anticipated, especially after it garnered praise from him. Much like the characters of the book, I was held in awe and wonderment of Stargirl. At a time when conformity abounds and my son's age group seeks to find themselves, this book is relatable. I am glad it encourages individuality, giving each kid the courage to shine bright. I find myself practicing random acts of kindness. Everyone can benefit from that! Great read.

Star girl. Ok book Got bored of it after a while

Amazing. "Mysteriously Touching"

Stargirl. not bad

Great book. It is a great book with a message, be yourself and be kind.

Stargirl. This book brought me tears hope they make a second one 😭

This is actually the best book I've ever read in my life. I was like 40 pages in and already knew it was my favorite book

Pretty boring. I had to read this 4 school...... SNORE

I love star girl. I am only 10 but this book really moved me my mom and dad also read this book and they loved it if you are a teen or a kid having trouble fitting in don't me upset just be who you are that's what this book taught me I just really love it this is my 16 time reading it please read it I love it it's awesome and now I no I don't have it fit in when I'm and high school and Leo.... Well he's kinda A BIG jerk he just leaves her star girl does what's best for Leo it really moves you

Loved it. Omg this book was so good i read it 2 times then read it to my friends then to my mom i loved the book so much and i hope other people do to also keep writing good book loved this one so keep making books bye

A great book for everyone and anyone. I had to read this book for 7th grade. One thing, I hate books. But this one, well changed me. It changed how I look at life. BEST BOOK EVER MUST READ

GOOD!. I love it but i hate the ending…...

This is my favorite book of all. I love his book so much!! It's absolutely wonderful!

This book is AWESOMENESS. I really like this book ALOT! It's great but I've read it in class, it's awesome! U SHOULD READ IT!!!!!!

Love!Love!Love!. This book is by far one of the very BEST books I have ever read! I reccomend it to anyone and everyone!

Best book ever. I normally not a reader but I was in class I chose a random book and I loved it so I bought it and I just got to the best part of the book I thank. 😁😁

A favorite. My school teacher wife suggested I read this book and I enjoyed it. To be a little like Stargirl...

Wonderful. Best book ever

Heartfelt, Sweet and Memorable. I have read many books, but this one hit really close to my heart. It is so heartfelt and relates to society so much. We all have a bit of Stargirl in us somewhere, a part of us who doesn't want to care what other people think and be ourselves. (:

Great Book. I love this book, very sweet it gets a little confusing here and there but over all its a great book for middle schoolers

Stargirl. This is an amazing story of a girl who tries to be no one but her true self. In a world like ours sometimes that can be the hardest thing especially if you're in high school. She has a spirit that surprises you again and again and makes you just wish you could have someone a little like her in your life, a friend. The beauty in Stargirl is her bravery to never really conform to what her community is telling her to be like, even if it means standing alone in a world that can be so judgmental and cold. Not to be cheesy but the last few pages just makes you shed a tear or two. Happy reading!

Wow.... I read this book in little over an hour, and I have no words. It hits you hard in the face as you realize how much a part of "them" you truly are. Fitting in and being part of the status quo is what everyone seemingly wants, but the only way to change that is to be someone different. Stargirl does that; it makes you want to be different and kind and giving. Read this book - you won't regret it. I promise.

This is so moving!. This book gave me some serious emotions! I really love it and if you like stuff that rugs on your heartstrings, get this book!

Love. I loved this book so much but I wish that Leo and Star Girl would be married<3

Great for others.. I didn't enjoy it that much at the end, but the beginning was pretty good, if you like the, "I want to suit in with the others" books, then you'll like this book toward the end.

Amazing!. Stargirl is one of my favorite books!! It’s heartwarming tale of nonconformity and popularity is sure to be a favorite of yours. Leo and Stargirl’s relationship is heartwarming as well. I read this after watching the amazing movie on Disney Plus and am very pleased to say that I couldn’t put the book down!! I would definitely recommend!

Speechless..... Dude like I loved it so much I’m about to freaking cry right now. WHY DID SHE HAVE TO MOVE AWAY why why whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. I wish she stayed with Leo and they got married and had a family and crap but NOOOOOOOOOO she left.... So many emotions went through me while reading this, I felt joy when she did good deeds I felt embarrassed for the kids who got sung to in the lunch room I felt sadness when Leo went to her house and saw the for sale sign..... That’s it I need awhile to process this in my brain I think I’m gonna go cry now 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Ok I’m good now. I just wanna say this makes me wanna be more like her I wanna do what she does for other people and I don’t know why they hate her for being probably the kindest friggin person on this entire planet. I wanna be like stargirl ⭐️

Best book. This is so heartwarming and the end made me cry tears of joy!I definitely recommend this book!

Star girl. this book was great read it in English and I loved I strongly encourage you to read this book.

OMG!!. I READ THIS AND IT WAS THE BEST!!IT WAS ALSO THE BEST PAGE TURNER EVER!!BUT...Why did Leo leave her? She was perfect,besides cheering for the other team (e.c.t.)

Hard pass. Dull unlikable character that seemed “quirky” for the sake of quirkyness. Really tried to give this series a chance but couldn’t bear to read through Stargirls ramblings for more pages. Hard pass.

100,000,000 MILLION STARS. best book ever made me cry when the series was over

My favorite book. I read this about 2 years ago or so and I can still remember it vividly and I know one thing for sure.. I love this book and after reading it, it has changed my life(not to be cliché.) When you have a favorite book it's your favorite because you can relate and have deep emotional similarities to the character. I was a lot like Stargirl in my opinion and and just her personality was just something that I really wanted to be and have. You should read this book I highly recommend.

Nice.. Very interesting book to read.

Good read for young teens. This was the first book I read as a freshman in high school. It was pretty good and interesting. It's a little short that's all.

Stargirl. I don't like the end where stargirl and her parents leave tow and never come back. I will still give 5 stars. I liked the book except for the end

I cant breathe. This book was so good. I coudlnt even breathe at the end. I was so sad i cried four times! Great book

Star girl. It was a real page turner and I just want to know what happens next

Star girl. Star girl really captures what life is like as a kid,and how things change when you grow up. It talks about how to be normal, how to fit in. Early in this book I didn't know how to describe It, Now I know, it was a story of friendship,love,adventure,change,laughter,and confidence. Most people would think that this book is just about a girl, just a normal girl, who goes by a weird name,but it is much more than that. It really captures your heart as you read about this one girl known as Susan,Pocket mouse but most commonly, Star Girl

Sparkofheart. Great book for young teens!
