The first book was from the perspective of Leo, the boy who crushed on her, yet took her for granted.
I mean, the kid cared more about fitting in than being a good friend to her. He deserved to have his heart broken, especially since he broke hers.
I loved the story, because I wanted to be like Stargirl. She was very brave and comfortable being the eclectic and whimsical child that she was.
With her pet rat, Cinnamon, that she kept in her purse, her ukelele, and unapologetic attitude inspired me to value my uniqueness and creativity.
