Jerry Spinelli Knihy

Od chvíle, kdy se na střední škole v ospalém městečku Mica objeví Stargirl, je všechno jinak. Než Leo Borlock zjistí, co se kolem ní děje, uvědomí si, že se zamiloval. Zamilovalo se do ní celé město, ale jeho obdiv nemá dlouhého trvání: Stargirlina všeobjímající láska se brzy obrátí proti ní – a ona zůstává uprostřed davu sama, vyloučená. Leo se ocitá před těžkou volbou: ona, nebo všichni ostatní? Vezmou Stargirl na milost, když se začne chovat „normálně“? A nepřijde tak o to, co na ní bylo nejkrásnější? Tato kniha je něžnou oslavou jinakosti, křehkosti první lásky a svobody ducha, který se nenechá svázat ani strachem a hloupostí otupělého davu.
