She's alone, he left her, this is her letter. Love, Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli is about a girl who is strange, quirky, unlike others. She just left Arizona where she used to go to school and met a boy she loved. The sequel to Stargirl is an interesting book full of out of the ordinary events. It's written in the form of a diary, the longest letter in the world, as Stargirl calls it.
I noticed that the book Stargirl demonstrates Stargirl as a person out of place because it is in the point of view of a boy. But in Love, Stargirl she isn't left out because she thinks everyone's her friend and she doesn't notice the people ignoring her. This is like the people in school who are special in their own way and mean something to other people, while the majority of people at school see them as strange.
Stargirl's personality varies widely, one day she's on her bed all day, and the next she could be giving away items that are special to her. But Stargirl always turns out as a person who can't say no and is helpful. The story teaches you that after something, you start getting on with your life and meet new people and make new friends. I thought that this book wasn't that interesting because there are not very special events, sometimes there's an event that hangs on to you in the book, but most of the time it's just Stargirt narrating what's going on in her every day life.
