Stargirl
Overview & Summary
A mysterious, wildly unconventional new student named Stargirl -- who plays ukulele in the cafeteria, cheers for both teams at games, and celebrates classmates' birthdays with a personalized song -- upends the rigid social order of a conformist Arizona high school, first fascinating her classmates and then, when her popularity threatens the status quo, being cruelly ostracized. Jerry Spinelli's novel, narrated by a boy who falls for her, is a meditation on conformity, individuality, and the courage it takes to be different.
