Love, Stargirl

By: Jerry Spinelli

Narrated by: Mandy Siegfried

Stargirl has moved and left everything behind: Arizona, Mica High, enchanted desert places–and Leo. He’s all she can think about, and her life begins to feel like a parade of unhappy anniversaries. Then Stargirl meets her wonderfully bizarre new neighbors: Dootsie, the curly-headed five-year-old “human bean”; Betty Lou, who hasn’t stepped outside her house for nine years; Charlie, who sits among the tombstones; hot-tempered Alvina with that one glittery nail; and Perry Delloplane, the blue-eyed thief who soon lays his own claim to Stargirl’s heart.
In letters to Leo over the course of a year, Stargirl comes to find hope in new places: mockingbirds, donut angels, moon flowers, and the Winter Solstice. But what’s life without Leo? Will he–can he–answer that one crucial question she asks every morning to the rising sun?©2007 Jerry Spinelli; (P)2007 Random House, Inc.

Very good.

She mispronounced saguaro, but she makes an excellent StarGirl. It was a very good reading.

Amazing book

This book is the best! It has such a great plot but you might want to read the first book first. The chapters are a bit long but the story and meaning fully make up for that!

Fresh, Funny Follow Up

I enjoyed the follow up book just as much as the first one. Star Girl remains a friendly and extremely unique individual. She is very accepting of those she meets and she makes friends with other unusual and interesting people. After reading this book I feel my own creativity stirred and I feel inspired to go out and LIVE!

I love it

I like that you can Picture the story.
