What this book is about
Stargirl Caraway arrives at Mica Area High School as a wholly original person — playing ukulele, celebrating strangers' birthdays, dancing in the rain — and the school doesn't know what to do with her. Leo Borlock is fascinated, then in love, then trapped between his longing for her and the school's brutal social pressure to conform. A gentle, lovely story about authenticity.
