"Stargirl" by Jerry Spinelli

I didn't really get into the book until I was several chapters into it. I do think this book would be good for fifth or sixth grade girls to read. It brings about a subject that might be hard for some parents to talk about; which would be whether or not to do things just to fit in. This book is about an odd girl that named herself Stargirl and you get to see her life through a boys perspective. It goes to show that highschool is hard for everybody, but she doesn't seem to care what other people think about her. She would be a great example for young girls these days. I did end up really liking the book, even though I couldn't seem to really enjoy it at first. But then it was hard to put down.
