Stargirl 
 by Jerry Spinelli 
 "You'll know her more by your questions than by her answers. Keep looking at her long enough. One day you might see someone you know." 
 There's a new girl in Leo's school. She's name is...Stargirl. Yes, she's Stargirl Caraway. She greets everybody on their birthday and sing songs with her ukelele. She knows everybody's birthday, not just in school, but in town. She has a pet rat. She reads newspaper fillers but not the headlines. She's unique. She's different. She's...odd. 
 But with just a smile, Leo Borlock never felt the same again. 
 Stargirl reminds me of how people missed out little things surrounding them. The newspaper fillers. Or what the neighbor is doing. Or how can one just be silent and alone and meditate in a place. This maybe the reason why Leo fell in love, for he found the simplest things, or maybe the oddest thing, in this ordinary-looking girl but with a mysterious name. 
 It is a children book so somehow I find it an easy read. It is an easy read, no deep words, but there are wisdom that Mr. Archie gave that has deep meanings that would make you think, are we really not much paying attention to things? Are we really going to fast with our lives? 
 This is a quick and nice read. It also has a sequel, "Love, Stargirl".
