	U Review: 'Stargirl' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		It was interesting and the people seemed real but Stargirl (Susan) is very different from me. The lesson that it's OK to be different is important but very hard to do in my life and school.
		In "Stargirl," Leo breaks under the peer pressure by trying to make Stargirl normal, since the rest of the school hates her.
		Everyone thought Stargirl was weird just because she acted differently, but once they got to know her, everyone loved her.

	Teenreads.com - STARGIRL by Jerry Spinelli
		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.
		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.
		After Stargirl wins the oratorical contest, Leo says that "the cheering is as wild as that of the crowd at a championship basketball game." Stargirl is the focus at both events but in very different ways.

		From the day that Stargirl, a previously homeschooled sophomore, arrives at Mica High School, she is noticed for her eccentricities: the way she dresses; her overt friendliness and spontaneity; the fact that she plays her ukulele and sings loudly in the school cafeteria; and her genuine lack of concern for what others think of her.
