A pretty weird name for a book, right? Well, this is the second book in the series! I LOVED this one even more than the first. So, for those of you who haven’t read Stargirl, it’s about a girl named Stargirl (pretty obvious, huh?) who’s the weirdest girl in high school. She has a pet rat, wears theatre costumes to school, plays the ukelele in the lunchroom, decorates her desk, cheers for the game on the field while they’re not playing, etc. etc. etc. Then she meets Leo, and Leo meets her, and it’s pretty straightforward from there!
Anyway, in Love, Stargirl, Stargirl has moved to Pennsylvannia and just can’t stop missing Leo. She then decides to write him The Longest Letter in the History of the World, in diary form. In her new life, Stargirl meets Dootsie, a curly-headed five-year-old “human bean”; Betty Lou, who hasn’t stepped outside her house for 9 years; Charlie, who sits among the tombstones; hot-tempered Alvina with that one glittery nail; and Perry Delloplane, the blue-eyed thief who soon lays his own claim on Stargirl’s heart. Over the book, Stargirl finds hope … but I’m not going to tell any more, so you have to read it yourself! [Zaynah]
