Nonconformity

Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli

Spinelli spins a tale that celebrates nonconformity and resonates long after the last page. Fast paced, thought provoking, and gloriously wonderful, Stargirl is not soon forgotten.

Stargirl herself is a wonder. Everything and nothing. Stars and shadows. Beauty. Wonder. The tallest mountain, the deepest sea. A saint. She is what dwells within each person without them knowing it. She is completely and utterly herself and tuned into something otherworldly that makes her such a beloved character. She truly makes you think about what makes life beautiful.

I definitely recommend reading this because it is so beautiful. We need more Stargirls in the world. So, Keep Calm, play uke, and read Stargirl!

Oh-- and the movie is what helped me find this book and it is quite beautiful! I recommend it as well!
