Stargirl
Jerry Spinelli, 2000
A girl who cheers for the other team, wears pioneer dresses, and refuses every label turns a small high school upside down.
Jerry Spinelli
Spinelli has said the idea came from a girl he saw at a high-school basketball game who cheered for both teams, not just her own.
Feels like wonder and war.
When one smile makes you forget every smile before it.
A baseball bat could not have hit me harder than that smile did. I was sixteen years old. In that time, how many thousands of smiles had been aimed at me? so why did this one feel like the first? Books by Jerry Spinelli
