Love, Stargirl

by Jerry Spinelli

   

      Stargirl is back, and she’s better than ever! Or, at least, she’s trying to be better. Susan “Stargirl” Caraway simply cannot get over her lost love, Leo. He tried to change her; he dumped her; she left him behind when she moved to Pennsylvania; so why can’t she just move on? In this “world’s longest letter,” Stargirl describes in detail her new life in Pennsylvania to Leo. There are new friends like five-year-old, out of control, Dootsie and violent, angry, hilarious Alvina. There is even a potential new love interest. But can  Stargirl let go of the past enough to see the opportunities right in front of her?
