Stargirl by Jerry Spinelly

"Everybody takes decisions in life but do you know how difficult love can be? Well, this novel tells the story of falling in love and losing love. The author takes us into a different world into a boy's mind: Leo's. Leo was just a normal teenager, until one day a girl appeared at school, a girl who had been home-schooled until now, she was called: Stargirl. Everybody thought her strange; as if she were from another world it seemed as if she was never there but really she was there. She didn't wear jeans, she wore long pioneer dresses, she was always playing the ukulele around hallways, and she carried her pet rat Cinnamon everywhere. She always made people happy, or that was what she tried to because not everybody loved her; people also hated her. She sang to everybody the happy birthday song and she went to funerals of people she didn't know. As several weeks passed by she began to be really popular and she was chosen to become part of the cheerleaders but one day a match was played and her team was winning. She started to cheer for the other team and that was when everything began, when she turned from being the most popular girl to the most hated girl throughout the whole school. But one day Leo fell in love, deeply in love with the worst girl he could have fallen in love: Stargirl. One night he follows her and he declares his love to Stargirl. As he spends more and more time with her he notices his friends stop talking to him and start to ignore him as if he wasn't there. He tries to change Stargirl convincing her to be "normal" so that his friends admit her into the group again but nothing works, so now he has to take the hardest decision in his life: he has to choose between Stargirl or his friends. What will he do?"
