Love, Stargirl

Here's my brief book review:

Just as I enjoyed the original, the sequel was indeed not a disappointment at all. While the story dragged a little, most likely because I can read way about the grade level it's intended for, I loved the epistolary format.

It was just one long love letter to Leo, her old boyfriend back in Arizona. Stargirl has moved to PA and as usual won the local folk over with her kindness, creativity, and fearlessness.

My favorite part is how she builds a sundial with spatulas on top of a field area near her house. On the winter soltice, they have a grand celebration on site.

I don't want to spoil the rest of the story but it was a great read.
