Stargirl
2020-2021 English Book Recommendation
Title: Stargirl
Author: Jerry Spinelli
Publisher: Laurelleaf
ISBN: 9780440416777
Recommendation By Miss Li Yuelin
The main character, Stargirl, performs random acts of kindness as part of her daily life—anonymous cards, notes and gifts—for everyone in her small Arizona town. She is wonderfully different in a high school and community that values conformity. She wishes everyone happy birthday by serenading them in the lunch room with her ukulele, cheers for everyone (including the opposing team) and acts with compassion and kindness toward all, even those who are cruel to her. Stargirl marches to the beat of her own drum and, most importantly, recognizes how important it is to beyourself. I hope this book can inspire you to start your own Stargirl Societies, groups that seek to emulate Stargirl’s example of spreading kindness and being true to yourself. What a wonderful goal in our daily lives: to sprinkle kindness like confetti, embrace and celebrate our differences and show empathy to all!

This beloved celebration of individuality is now an original movie on Disney+!
A modern-day classic and New York Times bestseller from Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli.
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 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.
Don't miss the sequel, Love, Stargirl, and Jerry Spinelli's latest novel, The Warden's Daughter, about another girl who can't help but stand out.
"Spinelli is a poet of the prepubescent. . . . No writer guides his young characters, and his readers, past these pitfalls and challenges and toward their futures with more compassion." --The New York Times
