The sequel to Stargirl was just as enjoyable and fun to read. Stargirl has matured and maybe toned down her outrageous behavior but not much or it would be boring. After leaving her boyfriend, Leo, in Arizona when her parents move to Pennsylvania with no closure or resolution of their mixed up relationship (WARNING: run-on sentence), Stargirl is lonely but determined to make the best of her new home. She once again makes friends with a host of odd characters and has all kinds of fun and heartwarming adventures. The novel is told in a series of letters that Stargirl writes to Leo over the course of a year but never sends. You can't help falling in love with her as she is quirky, strong-willed, determined and very human. It's an especially good novel for young women with a great message.
