Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Three stars in one beautiful boxed set: Stargirl + Love, Stargirl + a Stargirl Journal (free!).

Jerry Spinellis novel Stargirl, published in 2000, became an instant bestseller, beloved for its nonconformist heroine with a heart of gold. With over 1.4 million copies in print in North America alone and licenses in 27 languages, it's gone on to become an international hit. The acclaimed companion novel, Love, Stargirl, was published in 2007 and quickly became a New York Times Bestseller. We're pleased to offer trade paperback editions of both novels--as well as a bonus free copy of the write-in Stargirl Journal--in this eye-popping new boxed set.

Review:

"With the book's high school setting and situations, this entertaining and thought-provoking story will appeal to and be enjoyed by junior high and high school readers." VOYA

Synopsis:

Stargirl. 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 Borlocks 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.

This is a wonderful, groovy, radical book! I have read it countless times! It was first introduced to me in the 5th grade when my teacher read it to me. I have enjoyed reading it ever since!
