Leo Borlock's world is about to be turned upside down the day Stargirl Carraway enrolls at Mica High. Previously homeschooled, Stargirl is a fascinating new creature in the conformist town of Mica, with her outlandish outfits, pet rat, and complete lack of self-consciousness. Her schoolmates' curiousity about her leads to wide-spread adoring and emulation, and Leo Borlocks finds himself falling in love with her. Then Stargirl makes one social faux pas too many, and the school's population turns on her overnight. Leo tries to teach her to conform, and comes disastrously close to ruining all that she is.


"Stargirl" cannot be summed up in a review; it is so much more than anything I can tell you. Like Leo Borlock and Mica High, a little piece of you will change upon meeting her.
