Before ELEANOR AND PARK, there was STARGIRL. The seminal life-affirming YA novel celebrating first love and self-acceptance – now in a beautiful new edition for the next generation of readers.
She’s as magical as the desert sky. As mysterious as her own name. Nobody knows who she is or where she’s from. But everyone loves her for being different. And she captures Leo’s heart with just one smile.
STARGIRL is a classic of our time that celebrates being true to ourselves and the thrill of first love. A life-changing read that touches souls of all ages.
Jerry Spinelli started out wanting to be a cowboy. Luckily for young readers, he later decided to become a writer, even though he’s still not sure he can call himself one (he does other things too, like picking berries and skipping stones).
