From the day she arrives at quiet Mica High in a burst of color and sound, the hallways hum with the murmur of “Stargirl, Stargirl.” She captures Leo Borlock’s heart with just one smile. She sparks a school-spirit revolution with just one cheer. The students of Mica High are enchanted. At first. Then they turn on her. Stargirl is suddenly shunned for everything that makes her different, and Leo, panicked and desperate with love, urges her to become the very thing that can destroy her: normal. In this celebration of nonconformity, Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli weaves a tense, emotional tale about the perils of popularity and the thrill and inspiration of first love. 963221 book 2000 Stargirl total:17540|5:5634|4:6039|3:4059|2:1334|1:474| 17540 67645 21838 2956 4 27 false false Fri Jul 25 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 25 19:16:38 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 25 19:23:27 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 18 false false Thu Nov 22 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Mar 17 18:17:01 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 17 18:18:33 -0700 2008 1 15 false false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun May 18 17:34:40 -0700 2008 Sun May 18 17:44:49 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 12 false false Wed Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Fri May 18 21:07:01 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 25 21:51:36 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 11 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Sat Mar 08 22:37:26 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 08 22:58:55 -0800 2008 Stargirl is an amazing book about individuality and nonconformism.
