Love, Stargirl

by Jerry Spinelli

This is the sequel to Stargirl.  My colleague kept insisting I read it and I finally got around to it over Christmas break.  I read it fairly quickly even though it was slow to get going.  I love all the interesting characters Spinelli adds to his stories.  They are not too mainstream, but still likeable and real.  I even thought Stargirl might avert her attention away from Leo for a while.  This is written in letter format with all of the letters written to Leo from Stargirl after she moves away.  I didn't love it as much as Stargirl, but I enjoyed getting to know Stargirl, herself, more intimately.
