Next Pick: Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli

The bookworms have been all kinds of busy this last month, so this post is a bit late. But our next pick is Stargirl! We are meeting one week from today to discuss it (Saturday 11/18). Read it with us! It's a very quick and enjoyable read. And check back for our review. We are expecting a guest-worm this month.

Here's the Amazon review for interested parties: 


Stargirl. From the day she arrives at quiet Mica High in a burst of color and sound, the hallways hum with the murmur of “Stargirl, Stargirl.” She captures Leo Borlock’s heart with just one smile. She sparks a school-spirit revolution with just one cheer. The students of Mica High are enchanted. At first. 

Then they turn on her. Stargirl is suddenly shunned for everything that makes her different, and Leo, panicked and desperate with love, urges her to become the very thing that can destroy her: normal. In this celebration of nonconformity, Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli weaves a tense, emotional tale about the perils of popularity and the thrill and inspiration of first love.
