- Stargirl
A new girl roams the halls of Mica High. But she’s not a normal girl. On her first day of school she wears a resemblance of a grandmother’s wedding gown and carries around a ukulele. She sings and strums her ukulele in the hallways, singing happy birthday to random people. No one knows what to think about her: is she an actress trying to get discovered, is she high on drugs, is she a wierd homeschooled freak, or is she an alien? But the truth is-she’s just a normal girl with a different name and personality. Yes, her name is Stargirl.
Leo Borlock starts to fall for her. And the whole school starts to do what she does. They sing in the halls, cheer at the games, and sing happy birthday to people in the cafeteria. But then the school goes against everything she does differently. And Leo gets nervous that he won’t be able to stay with her-asking her to change. To be normal. Not to bring a ukulele to school, or sing in the hallways, or dress wildly. Can Stargirl be normal? And will she-just for Leo? And should Leo want to change her in the first place?
A book that shows how to be yourself and to not care what other people think. A great read with a great life lesson.
I love this book. It teaches you a lot about yourself and is overall fun. Who wouldn’t want a Stargirl at their own school? The book, reading wise, is a little easy. So if you are such an advanced reader that a lot of books are too easy for you-then i wouldn’t recommend this. I read a lot and still loved the book-so give it a try.
