Stargirl

Stargirl

Genre: Realistic Fiction

Where to find this book: Winship School Library

What is the main idea?
This book is mostly about Stargirl Caraway who is a [pretty weird] girl who comes to a new school. The book is narrated by Leo Borlock [he's kind of like Stargirl's boyfriend]. When she first comes to the school everyone thinks she's weird….then they love her…..then they hate her…..and then they love her again.

What did you like about this book?
I disliked how Leo liked Susan better than Stargirl. He's kind of pressuring her to be someone who she isn't in my opinion, If he really liked her, he would like her for who she is.
