by: Jerry Spinelli

Stargirl, by Jerry Spinelli, has 186 pages filled with drama. Leo Borlock and his best friend, Kevin, have always had just a regular life, besides running their school's t.v. show Hot seat. Before they know it their lives are being completely changed around!When "the new girl" stars in the middle of the year at their school things get overturned! When Stargirl messes up everyone, but Leo and a few of their friends immediately stop talking to them The main conflict in Stargirl is character vs. character because everyone ignores Stargirl and Leo, including their friends. She and Leo try to get everyone to like them again, but unfortunately it doesn't work.


Character vs. character is the main conflict in Stargirl because poor Stargirl starts getting ignored. At first, when Stargirl begins cheering for the opposing teams, people start to hate her. Then, it gets worse. She starts to try and comfort the other teams' hurt players! While all this hate is being shot towards Stargirl, she puts little cards, a piece of candy, or flowers on peoples desks. She would even put something on Hillari Kimble's desk, a rotten girl that always is mean and laughs at her. The moral of this book is definitely importance of friendship and loyalty. I would definitely recommend this book. I thought it was great!
