Stargirl

Stargirl

BY JERRY SPINELLI

Brief Description:
A wonderful novel about the courage to be unique despite the pressures to conform at an American high school. Stargirl creatively expresses herself and her kindness without restraint despite public disapproval. The story focuses on Leo, the regular, conforming boy who falls in love with her, but who is not so good as Stargirl at ignoring public pressure. The book contains a fine passage on centering meditation and what it feels like to go within and have a glimpse of the divine.

Knopf 2002 192 PP. Blank
