Love, Stargirl

Love, Stargirl is a realistic fiction book about a girl named Stargirl (cool name, huh?) who can't get over a breakup with her old boyfriend, Leo. She moved from her high school in Arizona to being home schooled in Pennsylvania, and meets some very interesting people in her new neighborhood. The first person she meets is Dootsie, the 5-year-old "human bean" that always cheers her up. Well, not always, especially when she is coming in Stargirl's house and jumping on her at 3:00 in the morning! Sooner or later she meets Perry Delophane, the homeless boy who has a harem and always sucks on lemons, and she starts to like him more everyday. In a couple days, she begins to like like him. She also meets Betty Lou, who hasn't left her house in nine years but is great for advice. So... will she stay true to Leo? Will she choose Perry? Read the book to find out!

I love the characters in this book, but above all, my favorite character is Stargirl. This is because she is kind-hearted, she knows how to treat little kids (she's 16), and even though she can't stop thinking about Leo and is constantly frustrated by Perry, she always tries to make everyone happy. She is unlike any 16-year-old you will ever meet. She is mature. I also think Betty Lou, Dootsie, Perry, Leo, and Stargirl fit together extraordinarily well for people who are not alike in any way. With this book, you get a little bit of everything in a wide variety of events, and that's why I fell in love with it and would recommend Love, Stargirl to anyone without question.
