Stargirl has moved and left everything behind: Arizona, Mica High, enchanted desert places–and Leo. He’s all she can think about, and her life begins to feel like a parade of unhappy anniversaries. Then Stargirl meets her wonderfully bizarre new neighbors: Dootsie, the curly-headed five-year-old “human bean”; Betty Lou, who hasn’t stepped outside her house for nine years; Charlie, who sits among the tombstones; hot-tempered Alvina with that one glittery nail; and Perry Delloplane, the blue-eyed thief who soon lays his own claim to Stargirl’s heart. In letters to Leo over the course of a year, Stargirl comes to find hope in new places: mockingbirds, donut angels, moon flowers, and the Winter Solstice. But what’s life without Leo? Will he–can he–answer that one crucial question she asks every morning to the rising sun?

"I hated the book it was so confuseing the book was about a girl named star girl writing letters to her long lost ex boyfreind she has moved and misses him tremndiously. I dont understand why she writes so much when she never is going to give the letters to him! Except for writing she should be out exploring the world so she could find someone new!"

" Stargirl was such a fun read, that I was excited when I found out that there is a sequel! After getting about half-way through Love, Stargirl, I was becoming disappointed with the layout and the pining for Leo, etc. So, I read the last page or two just to see if I wanted to finish the book. Yes, that's rather sneaky and perhaps kind of silly, but I confess, that's what I decided to do. Anyway, reading the last part helped me to decide that I would indeed finish and I was not disappointed. I still prefer the first book to this one, but this one definitely has earned its place in my repertoire of books read. "
— Elaine, 2/1/2014" The sequel to Stargirl, this is a "long letter" in journal entry format from Stargirl to Leo, telling him about what she's been up to since she moved. I like both books for their lessons about love, acceptance, and appreciating the little things in life. Stargirl's outlook on life is something to be cherished. "
— Angie, 1/25/2014" Its a bit simpler from the first book, but I still love it. I hope there's a third book. "
— Icy, 1/16/2014" Good sequel but not as good as the first book. "
— Devon, 1/10/2014" I liked the sequel just as much as the first. Cute, easy read. "
— Kim, 1/5/2014" This book was different from the other book. I was a bit disappointed with this one, because it felt a little like it could have been two separate books. Overall I thought it was well written though. Loved it anyway haha. "
— Alisa, 12/24/2013" I liked it. I was left wanting...something... I don't know what. Her interactions with others are still endearing, but...I don't know. I liked it. I'm glad I read it. I will read another if he writes it. The story kind of rambled and wandered and didn't really go anywhere...or, it did, but there was no final resolution that I really wanted. Anyway, yeah, that's about it. :) sorry. "
— Alissa, 12/16/2013" ordinary. "
— Shereen, 12/7/2013" I love it! its really cool and tells every one that she dosen't care if she is different. She is just star girl. "
— Cacie, 11/18/2013" Really great book. I hope Leo and Stargirl meet again! Loved it!! "
— Elise, 9/10/2013" I think that this was an okay book because it was just all letters and that i think there should have been more action in this becaus ei saw myself almost falling asleep when reading this but it was a very sweet book! I hope there will be another book in the series! "

— Corey, 10/8/2011" Stargirl was good. This was AMAZING! I loved being able to read in Stargirl's point of view. Sure, Leo was okay, but he really didn't deserve her in the book Stargirl. I loved this and couldn't put it down!!! "
