I could wish I was so brave and so overwhelming as generous as the magical girl the book is named. Told from the perspective of sixteen Leo, who falls under the charm, as the rest of Mica High School, he is a sad story, sincere and bittersweet, ultimately oho emotionally gently but firmly.
This book should be required reading for adults young and old sounds for approval individualism.It reminds us that it is all right as Stargirl is to be different, the similarity is boring, and that we all, as Shakespeare once said: “To thy self be true.”
In a little less than two hundred pages, it can almost be touched in one sitting. Perfect for someone who does not feel that they belong wholly or gift that it is a bad thing to be different, or simply to gently remind them that acceptance starts from within.

Originally I borrowed it from the library. Halfway through it, I bought my own copy, and one for my niece.
This is the story of a girl named Stargirl. She was home taught for most of his life and has no idea of ​​conformity. She is herself, through and through. She wears clothes pioneers such, no makeup meditates, knows peoples birthdays, people feel good about themselves.
At first the majority of the school welcomes their individuality and even flatters her when they copy their strange ways. But slowly they see her individuality as a hindrance and begin to turn it on. Leo, the 16-year-old narrator of the book is her friend, and as such is completely alienated from the rest of the school. It dawns on him that he has to choose, Stargirl or his friends and respect. This is probably one of the best books I’ve read for a lot of time, and I read a lot of books! I keep my copy on my shelf for my children to read, to teach them to applaud individuality, not discourage.

Who could not love Stargirl? She is the new girl at school who is a little different than the others. She carries her pet rat to school brings her ukulele, and wears the clothing of the time, mother sews. But more importantly, it is probably the nicest person ever written on. It celebrates the holidays by everyone in her class teacher a treat and leaves greeting cards for people and sang Happy Birthday to them. At first, its popularity increased and it was even a cheerleader. Unfortunately, the same thing that has been popular in all corners of his students … themselves.
boy, the narrator is caught more than anyone else. He and the two became friends at the same time. But soon he can not resist peer pressure and asks Stargirl to change. I must admit that it is really hard to read, because I like the narrator, but Stargirl should not have to change! If it was not too hard to pass on the positive end of the book.
I like the end. I think it ended exactly as it should. Not the best for all but the best for Stargirl. Maybe everyone in the lesson history teaches people on line, and I think the readers.
