Good

THE SILVER PLATE TRUCKS!!!!!

So, Leo celebrates her for her uniqueness, yet he stays inside? That’s not how it works, buddy.

“I have never been so happy and so proud in my life” (Spinelli 140).
More like “I have never been so disappointed and surprised in my life.”
You can’t just tell someone “be like this” when that’s not who they are. That’s not how life works. Ughhhh.

DUDE. WHAT THE HECK. NOW YOU’RE EMBARRASSED? WOW. JUST WOW. AFTER ALL YOU AND CINNAMON (and Stargirl) WENT THROUGH, YOU AVOID THEM BECAUSE YOU CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK OF YOU.

“Did you ever see a little kid’s face when he spots a penny on a sidewalk?”
I’m keeping an eye out now. But it feels nice and lucky when you find one, I can tell you that.

Stargirl just cares when no one else does. She cares when no one else thinks to. She cares without others asking her too.
I wish more people thought like that.

I’m correcting my initial impression of Stargirl. She is similar to Lucy Gray, no doubt, but she shows less sass and more kindness. She doesn’t care what others think, and she only wants to help others. She’s brighter, and she sees the best in people who don’t even care to notice her.
