The New York Times bestselling sequel to Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli’s modern-day classic Stargirl !
Love, Stargirl picks up a year after Stargirl ends and reveals the new life of the beloved character who moved away so suddenly at the end of Stargirl . The novel takes the form of “the world’s longest letter,” in diary form, going from date to date through a little more than a year’s time. In her writing, Stargirl mixes memories of her bittersweet time in Mica, Arizona, with involvements with new people in her life. In Love, Stargirl , we hear the voice of Stargirl herself as she reflects on time, life, Leo, and – of course – love. Don’t miss Jerry Spinelli’s latest novel, The Warden’s Daughter , about another girl who can’t help but stand out.
“Spinelli is a poet of the prepubescent. . . . No writer guides his young characters, and his readers, past these pitfalls and challenges and toward their futures with more compassion.” — The New York Times
