A modern-day classic and New York Times bestseller that celebrates the power of individuality and personal expression from beloved Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli.

제리 스피넬리의 성장소설. 평범한 소년 리오는 괴상한 옷차림에 시나몬이라 불리는 애완용 쥐를 갖고 다니며 우쿨렐레를 치는 자유로운 영혼 스타걸에게 마음을 빼앗기고, 스타걸에 대한 그의 사랑이 커져갈수록 그가 속한 사회와 여자 친구 가운데 하나를 선택해야 하는 어려움에 처하게 되는데... 남들과 같지 않을 수 있는 용기를 칭송하는 가운데 덧없고 무정한 인기의 속성에 대한 건강미 넘치는 이야기에 첫사랑의 떨림과 감동을 함께 그린 성장소설이다.

Stargirl. 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. She sparks a school-spirit revolution with just one cheer. The students of Mica High are enchanted. At first.

Then they turn on her. 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. In this celebration of nonconformity, Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli weaves a tense, emotional tale about the perils of popularity and the thrill and inspiration of first love.

Don’t miss the sequel, Love, Stargirl, and Jerry Spinelli’s latest novel, The Warden’s Daughter, about another girl who can't help but stand out.

“Spinelli is a poet of the prepubescent. . . . No writer guides his young characters, and his readers, past these pitfalls and challenges and toward their futures with more compassion.” -The New York Times
