Maybe it was because I imagined what would happen if this occurred at my own school and I could see the uproar and hilarity that would ensue. And yet I still found there to be funny bits. Humour: The story wasn’t on the nose humorous. They made things quintessentially high-school. They played their stereotypical and yet un-stereotypical roles perfectly. Kevin Quinlan I really liked all of them too. When it comes to side characters like Hillari Kimble, Wayne Parr and She is the biggest oxymoron in existence and I love her! She’s the perfect female protagonist because she cares so much and at the same time cares about nothing. She isn’t simply non-conforming, she is brilliant and warm, she is curious and ignorant. It’s almost impossible to sum up a character as incredible as Stargirl in only a few words because of how incredibly she is written. She was always interesting to read, I especially admired her ability to control a room with only a few words. Stargirl Caraway is an extremely interesting character. I related to him and his desires to fit in while also wanting to be true to his self and his interests. His character arc was my favourite of the book. He floated in between which I liked because not everyone fits nicely into those brackets. He was different from a lot of protagonists where the setting is high school because either they are social outcasts or the popular kid, Leo was neither. It makes you want to see the world in a better light.Ĭharacters: Leo Borlock was a really likeable character. An incredible book that I recommend to everyone. His character arc was a definite highlight because I rooted for him the whole way through to do the right thing. The juxtaposition between Stargirl’s exuberant and loving character and Leo’s shy and conforming nature was really nice to read.
Her random acts of kindness inspire me to do similar things.
I wished more people viewed the world through her rose-tinted glasses.

Somewhere in the midst of Stargirl’s arrival and rise and fall, normal Leo Borlock has tumbled into love with her.
