From the day she arrives at quiet Mica High in a burst of color and sound, hallways hum “Stargirl.” She captures Leo Borlock’s heart with one smile. She sparks a school-spirit revolution with one cheer. The students of Mica High are enchanted. Until they are not. Leo urges her to become the very thing that can destroy her - normal.

Our book of the month! Discussion starts July 1st.

I just got this one from the library today. Anyone else reading this?

I got it from the library and read it too! Where are you?

I finished it in one night! I thought it was a really sweet story and I really loved Stargirl's character. I was a bit disappointed in Leo, though. How about you?

Sorry it took so long to reply! My internet was out.
Wow, one night? I think it took me... two days? Maybe three. Yeah, I basically felt the same: cool story and I like Stargirl, but I was disappointed by Leo at the end.

Yes. Stargirl herself was my favorite part of the story.

I loved the whimsy of it, too. And the theme of being yourself, as well as putting others' needs before your own. I think Leo learned those lessons too, in the end, but (view spoiler)[by then it was too late for him to make things right with Stargirl. (hide spoiler)]

Same. I just wished he'd caught on a little a faster.

I sadly did not manage to get to this one for this month. Sorry Ally! I'll try again for August.

No problem, Grace :)
