It will tug into your hearts, and you will be filled with so much inspiration. It is well written and the words are well-chosen. If you enjoyed reading the first book, you will love this book more! It gave me Stargirl’s side of the story! The book gave me Stargirl’s story! And I cannot ask for more. So I thought by reading its sequel, the emptiness it left will somehow be filled. Reading the first book, Stargirl, gave me so much love and heartbreak and left me hanging. The story, feelings and thoughts of Stargirl echo in my own heart. It is so sweet, wonderful and heartwarming. This book has touched my heart in ways I never imagined.

And instantly I knew I had added this to my all-time favourite list already. She'll actually become part of the community, of this weird yet so ordinary group of people, and not a strange creature belonging to another planet.Īs soon as I closed the book after reading the last page I knew I was going to miss 5-year-old attention-seeker Dootsie, agoraphobic Betty Lou, grumpy Alvina and everyone else. She will leave her mark in this town too,spreading the magic wherever she goes, but they will leave something to her too. Back to home-school with lots of time to dedicate to her shadow curriculum (with subjects like Element of Nothingness, Principles of swooning, Life under Rocks and Beginner whistling) and to get to know the locals. So she decides to write him the longest letter in the world, in the form of a journal. And she's not at her best either, cause despite having left Mika with a bang ( or with a hop.) she still loves and misses Leo (why?He doesn't deserve you!but anyway). She's self-conscious and unsure of herself like the rest of us. We get to hear her thoughts, and suddenly she doesn't seem so crazy or out of this world anymore. Nevertheless Stargirl had still something to say and didn't leave Jerry Spinelli alone till he continued writing her story. The end of the first one ( see review ) didn't leave much room for a follow up, since Leo's grown up voice informs us that he never married and still hopes to meet her again one day. I'm happy, though, that I can pick the book up anytime and absorb some of that magic.

True, but I'd need someone like her to make me see it, to make the boring/depressing/sad reality seems full of surprises. I could read about Stargirl every day and never get tired of her. It's Stargirl we're talking about, after all. It made me feel good about the world, without being cheesy or soppy. It wasn't a masterpiece, or the most original book around, even if the main character might as well be, but it warmed my soul.

I don't know why it took me so long to review this, cause it's actually the best books I've read in months.
