Piper McCloud is a small town girl, but she has always been different. Ever since she was a baby she has had the ability to fly. She has never gone to school; she has never interacted with kids.

This was a really great book. It doesn’t have much romance, but it’s really sweet. You can’t help but admire Piper’s honest personality. [The SpaceCowboy]

Maleeka Madison gets picked on, so she starts to hang out with girls that aren’t the best influence. For example when Ms. Saunders, the new teacher, starts to fail Charlese (one of the girls Maleeka hangs out with), they go into the school during the crack of dawn and trash her room. Maleeka thinks about bailing out on the girls, but is afraid of what they will think of her so she just sits there. After a little while Char notices and tells her to start helping. Maleeka doesn’t want to, then Char pulls out her lighter and puts it in Maleeka’s face acting as if she is about to burn Maleeka. Maleeka reluctantly takes the lighter and accidentally burns the curtains and the whole room catches on fire. In the end Maleeka Madison learns her lesson and everything goes well. Now she is a stronger person who has a new attitude and new friends. I would recommend this book to any and everyone!! [suppiedoodle]
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!
This book is SO funny and original! It is written entirely in Instant Messages, which is great for people who really like the computer. It is about these three girls, Zoe (Zoegirl), Angela (SnowAngel), and Maddie (MadMaddie), as they go through senior year. This book has everything, like … gossip, mean girls, drama, the stress of getting into your college of choice, best friends and boyfriends. The book is VERY witty, sometimes I would find myself laughing out loud and having teachers or family members stare at me funny. =]
