STARGIRL by Jerry Spinelli

Several of my critique group friends told me how much they enjoyed this Y.A. novel. I must admit, they were right. It is a great book and this author has a wonderful way of capturing voice.

Another thing I love about this author is his sense of humor. I read this book on the beach over Labor Day and when I got to page 117, I broke into hysterics laughing and woke up several sunbathers on either side of me. This is a good book for 8th - 11th graders. It makes the reader question why it is so important to fit in with everyone else.
