In this story about the perils of popularity, the courage of nonconformity, and the thrill of first love, an eccentric student named Stargirl changes Mica High School forever. Leo Borlock follows the unspoken rule at Mica Area High School: don't stand out-- under any circumstances! Then, after 15 years of home schooling, Stargirl bursts into tenth grade in an explosion of color and a clatter of ukulele music, enchanting the Mica student body. When the delicate scales of popularity suddenly shift, Stargirl is shunned for everything that makes her different. But somewhere in the midst of Stargirl's arrival and rise and fall, normal Leo Borlock tumbled into love with her, and he urges her to embrace her nonconformity. -- adapted from back cover and Goodreads info
