My daughter brought this book home many, many years ago, when she was in middle school, and I was curious. After seeing this book mentioned so many times by other bloggers, I finally gave it a go. Part of my thought of Stargirl as an early MPDG, but she also struck me as an older Pippi Longstocking. I loved her big heart, originality, and commitment to being herself. I found myself really disappointed in Leo, which was why I didn't go higher on the rating, but I am very curious to see where Spinelli goes with this story, and will be reading the next book.

I really loved this book. I read it all in one sitting. Stargirl the character filled me with smiles and joy! I think it was smart of Spinelli to write it from Leo's perspective. I enjoyed how readers got to see and experience Stargirl instead of being in her mind/POV, even if we were mainly seeing her from Leo's point of view. Spinelli's writing was spellbinding and I was glued to the pages. I really enjoyed his critique of popularity versus individuality and they way he was able to bring that discussion up through this story. While the ending might seem bittersweet I loved it and will definitely be seeking out more from Spinelli and Stargirl!

She did it for you, you know. Gave up her self, for a while there. She loved you that much.
