The climax:
When basketball play-offs come around, the school faces tough competition, and ultimately lose in the semi-finals. Stargirl angers the school by comforting a player from the opposing team when he breaks his ankle. After the next game, where MAHS suffers a season-ending humiliating defeat, an unknown student hits Stargirl in the face with a ripe tomato, to which the audience responds by applauding. The school takes out their anger for the defeat on Stargirl, illogically blaming her for the team’s loss. This eventually leads to her being shunned by the entire student body except Leo and her one remaining friend, Dori Dilson.
The character I like most: Susan "Stargirl" Caraway
She is a new face to Mica Area High School. Stargirl is different from everyone else at MAHS. She develops a love interest in the main character, Leo Borlock. She brings the idea of individuality to MAHS, something that the school has never encountered before, and the student body is not always sure how to grasp it.
The character I dislike most: Hillari Kimble
She is the girlfriend of Wayne Parr, who was most popular in school before the appearance of Stargirl. She cannot stand Stargirl, hating her for the attention she gets.
Reason:
This was a great book of love and relationship. This book is an easy read I would recommend for a teenager to do for a book report. Though some parts of the story bored me, but it was an excellent book I ever read. I've never read something that really touched my heart as much as Stargirl. It shows that being true to ones self is a gift that few have, but it is what we all love and try to hide. I didn't really write about it because this book doesn't have a word to describe. This book is good for reading in summer. Once again I highly recommended this book to everybody and I want to read this book again. When I finished this book, I cried.
