Stargirl

I just got done listening to the audiobook Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli.  I like books that make you smile at the end. 

Stargirl is the new girl in school – new and incredibly different.  For one, she goes by the name “Stargirl.”  She doesn’t dress or act the same as the other kids (as a cheerleader, she cheers even when the other team scores a point).  She’s always doing things for other people and rarely cares what anyone else thinks of her.  Until she meets Leo, that is.

This story is all about finding yourself and sticking to who you really are.  It’s funny, intelligent, and heartwarming, and, best of all, comes recommended by me!  This was a book that I delayed reading because I just wasn’t interested enough to take the time to read it.  The audiobook format works great for books like this because I can have them done in a matter of hours while I’m doing other things.  I love multitasking!

4 out of 5 stars because it’s not my favorite, but it’s still really good.

This is Just the Beginning

I may occasionally throw in some music or television show reviews, but mainly I’ll be sticking with my two favorite forms of entertainment.
