Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli
“I am thankful for the book Stargirl because it is a story with the theme of "be yourself". I loved how Stargirl was not afraid to be herself and how her attitude was infectious and allowed others to accept her. I especially loved how she was kind and did random acts of kindness with no ulterior motives. Stargirl was kind to others for the sake of kindness and nothing else. I wish everyone could have a little Stargirl in them, we would be better for it.”
