Her dad has started his dream job of becoming a milkman, and Stargirl has resumed being homeschooled by her mom, the costume designer. Although she's not sure she is going to send it to him, Stargirl begins to detail her new life in Pennsylvania. So starts what Stargirl dubs the world's longest letter to her boyfriend from Arizona, Leo. If I were in charge of calendars, every day would be January 1.Īnd what better way to celebrate this New Year's Day than to begin writing a letter to my once (and future?) boyfriend. (And I say “male protagonist” and “female protagonist” because I don’t want to say who the main people in the story are, in hopes that it will make you a bit more curious than I hope you already are as to who these people with a good message are.I love beginnings. Although the second one was written in a different style than the first one it was written in the form of letters to the male protagonist. Maybe it’s because I had already read the first one so I was more able to guess what was going to happen. The second book is from the female protagonists point of view, and it too is nice but I just find it less…unique. It’s from the male protagonists point of view, and I personally find it to be more moving. Personally, I like the first book better.
See, if you’re looking for your book to live on.well, will people in 100 years know that Brittney Spears was the symbol for good pop-artists two or three years ago? Will people now know that, if you wrote it then?
I like when authors make current-references - but it can also be a bad thing. Like in the second one where the female protaginist is writing letters to the male protagonist, in one of the letters she says “ Dear, Sorry, that’s sounds to much like ‘Dear John”…“. He also uses some current-references in the stories. He uses just enough similes and metophores, so that it leaves the writing colorful but not too much as to make the paragraphs dwattle on and bore you. Smiths’ writing (who, you should know by now, has lovely writing). The second books message is more of “people can still be with you in your heart” or “don’t judge a book by its cover”. Well, actually those two messages are only true for the first book. I think that I find these two books so different from anything I’ve ever read is because they both have a really good message (not that other books don’t have messages) - “Be yourself” or “don’t conform yourself to society”. If you get the chance you should check them out), but these books are actually quite different from any other books that I’ve ever read. įrom the cover, the two books actually remind me of the two books “love that dog” and “hate that cat” (both are written in poetry, and are really good. Females can like more “manly” things like sports and wars, and men/boys can enjoy romances or certain fantasies that people typically label ‘for girls’ or ‘for guys’.) Both books are really actually nice for both genders. I don’t even see how books can be for one gender or another - I can see how if the books title is “A guide for girls, surviving.” or something like that - but not just a general fictional book. (Speaking of “girly” books, I think it’s terrible how people can label some books for girls and other books for boys and men. Regardless of the title, these are not “girly” book. In letters to Leo over the course of a year, Stargirl comes to find hope in new places: mockingbirds, donut angels, and the Winter Solstice - that turning point day when dark tips to light, But what’s life without Leo? Will he - can he - answer that one crucial question she asks every morning to the rising sun?” Then Stargirl meets her wonderfully bizarre new neighbors: Dootsie, the curly-headed five-year-old “human bean” Betty Lou, who hasn’t stepped outside of her house for nine years hot-tempered Alvina with that one glittery nail and Perry Delloplane, the blue-eyed thief who soon lays his own claim to Stargirl’s heart. He’s all she can think about, and her life begins to feel like a parade of unhappy anniversaries.
Here’s the second books (“Love, Star girl”) back of the book excerpt – “ Stargirl has moved and left everything behind: Arizona, enchanted desert places - and Leo, her once (and future?) boyfriend.
But when the students of Mica High turn on Stargirl for everything that makes her different, Leo urges her to become the very thing that can destroy her normal.” And she captures Leo Borlock’s heart with just one smile. Here’s the first books (“Star Girl”) back of the book excerpt – “ Stargirl. Yesterday I finished the sequel to it – “Love, Star Girl”. Back in the depths of last year, I read the book “Star Girl” by Jerry Spinelli, after a recommendation of it (from two people, may I add).
