The winter solstice project that this kind, home schooled, hippie-ish 15-year-old undertakes brings together all her new friends, and helps to bring hope back into her life, too. She's lonely and pining for him, but soon meets some entertainingly wacky neighbors, from impudent five-year-old Dootsie to angry adolescent Alvina, kind but agrophobic Betsy Lou, widowed Charlie, who talks to his dead wife in the graveyard daily, and handsome Perry, a thief who almost steals Stargirl's heart.
#LOVE STARGIRL BOOK SERIES#
It's really more of a series of journal entries as delightfully offbeat Stargirl tells of events over the course of a year in her new home in a small town in Pennsylvania, far away from Arizona and Leo. 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 this sequel to Stargirl, the free-spirited, openhearted title character gets to tell her own story in the form of "the World's Longest Letter" to her ex-boyfriend Leo. 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. Going from date to date, Stargirl mixes memories of her bittersweet time in Mica, Arizona, with involvements with new people in her life: Dootsie, her five-year-old "best friend" Alvina, combative tomboy-turning-girl Betty Lou, sage agoraphobic Arnold, who wanders town in a solitary game of hide-and-seek Margie of Margie's Donuts, self-proclaimed "World's Best!" Charlie, who spends his days in a folding chair at the grave of his wife Grace and Perry Delloplane, who lays his own claim to Stargirl's heart. Taking the form of, as Stargirl calls it, "the world's longest letter," Stargirl tells her story in a journal/diary.
What happened to Stargirl? A year has passed and Stargirl returns to reveal her new life.
Jerry Spinelli's beloved character, Stargirl, returns and reflects on time, life, Leo, and of course love.
