Love, Stargirl (Stargirl, #2)

by Jerry Spinelli

The New York Times bestselling sequel to Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli’s modern-day classic Stargirl, now an original film on Disney+!

And don't miss the author's highly anticipated new novel, Dead Wednesday!

Love, Stargirl picks up a year after Stargirl ends and reveals the new life of the beloved character who moved away so suddenly at the end of Stargirl. The novel takes the form of "the world's longest letter," in diary form, going from date to date through a little more than a year's time. In her writing, Stargirl mixes memories of her bittersweet time in Mica, Arizona, with involvements with new people in her life.

In Love, Stargirl, we hear the voice of Stargirl herself as she reflects on time, life, Leo, and - of course - love.

“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

I was sort of frustrated with Leo at the end of the last book, and I thought I might have gotten some closure here, but I didn't. Nonetheless, I still got to spend time with Stargirl and her new cast of charming characters. I always loved the way she rallied the crowds and chose kindness. I also liked reading the story from her perspective. Not bad, but rather, a case of expectations not being met.

In the eyes and ears of my heart, you and the magic are one and the same. The setting never mattered. On the sidewalk in front of my house, at the enchanted place in the desert, walking the halls at school—wherever I was with you, I heard violins.
