Stargirl (Susan Caraway real name) after being most of her life in homeschooling going to a public school was weird for her. Once she got to Mica Area High she had every pair of eyes on her, used to wear long, pioneer-style dresses, played a ukulele in the halls and in lunch room, and carried her pet rat Cinnamon with her.She made people happy with most of her things after a while. Leo Borlock follows the unspoken rule at Mica Area High :don't stand out rule. But when Stargirl gets to him everything changes and Leo falls in love with her.This book is absolutely amazing this was one of my favorite books its a book that once you open you can't close.
