Série Stargirl - Jerry Spinelli

1. Stargirl

Sinopse: Leo is an average boy who is not popular, but not geeky, he goes to a school where everyone is basicly the same, where everyone tries to fit in. This pattern has been working for them, but all of a suden, Stargirl comes. She is different and not afraid to show it. She wears unique clothes, says unique things, and strangest of all, she is nice to and freinds with everyone. At first people find that she is strange, but as they start to get used to her, they start to love her. She take special liking to Leo. 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.

2. Love, Stargirl

Sinopse: 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.
