Reader reviewed by Duckie



Leo Borlock has a world. A world of exams and tests at Mica High in Arizona. A world of behind-the-scenes of "hot-seat" at Mica High. A world of basketball games that NO ONE goes to. A world like all other teen guys in high school. Until.......

Stargirl is mysterious, strange, and above all bubbling with utter happiness. She (as a star-person)sheds light not tears. She leaves change on the sidewalk for others to find, plays "happy birthday" on her ukelele when someons birthday is on that day, she goes to basketball games and does frontflips (even if the OTHER team got the score) and stargirl crys for people that cry. Laughs for people that laugh. and hurts when other people hurt.

Leo Borlock never saw stargirl coming. But she steals his heart all the same. People around stargirl take interest in non-makeup-wearing-ukelele-playing-rat-owning-front-flip-doing stargirl. She takes cheerleading. is on hot-seat. wins the speech contest. Then her life goes away. She is shunned by everyone. Except Leo Borlock. Leo tells her she can't be like this anymore and urges her into doing the thing that will destroy her:become normal.

Will stargirl become normal?
Will Leo stay mad at her?
Will their love last forever?
Will Leo ever get ahold of snity?
