Love, Stargirl

LOVE, STARGIRL: Jerry Spinelli: Alfred A. Knopf: Young Adult: 274 pages

After moving to Pennsylvania, Stargirl still pines for Leo, her old boyfriend from Mica High who jilted her. She writes him “the world’s longest letter,” telling him about her new life with her five-year-old best friend Dootsie, an aging neighbor who refuses to leave the house, and an attractive boy who sleeps on his roof. This sweet sequel to Stargirl sets up readers for another book in the series.
