Love, Stargirl picks up a year after Stargirl ends and reveals the new life of the beloved character who moved away so suddenly at the end of Stargirl. The ending of Stargirl is bittersweet: Though Stargirl touched so many lives, the fact that she felt compelled to leave Mica speaks volumes about how difficult it is to be accepted for being one’s true self, especially in high school when people are more content than ever to blend in. With the arrival of autumn, Stargirl’s life is affected as she meets several new characters: Alvina, a grumpy young girl who delivers donuts to Betty Lou Perry, a teen boy who Alvina is falling in love with and Perry’s “harem,” The Honeybees. With as easily as she came and went, though, Leo says in the end that it was almost like she was a ghost. Stargirl is made of magic, and her short time at Mica High changes everyone for the better. Leo goes to look for her, but her mom has sold the house and moved. Stargirl vanishes from Mica as seamlessly as she came. He tells her to remember who she is and do what her heart tells her.The moral of the story is don’t judge a book bye its cover because Stargirl doesn’t dress or look like any other teenager, she wears big, poufy skirts, and carries her pet rat around, and other things like that but inside she is a super sweet, nice girl. In the end, Stargirl asks Archie what she should do about missing Leo, and also what is happening with Perry. Everyone is profoundly affected by the start of this new day, and returns home to the start of cold winter. The magic moment of sunrise is magnified by a special tent her parents have built, allowing the sunlight to stream in through a hole in the tent, forming a single beam that cuts through the crowd of people and pierces the back wall. On the morning of the Winter Solstice, Stargirl is overwhelmed and surprised when a huge crowd of her friends and acquaintances, and several other people she's unfamiliar with, flock to Calendar Hill, including her friend Betty Lou who hasn't left her house in nine years. In the end, Stargirl becomes worried that no one will show up for her solstice party, but is reassured by Archie, her former teacher and friend from Arizona, who arrives to attend her celebration and comforts her with his wisdom. She learns his mother has a new baby, whom Perry has been trying to support by working several jobs last summer and by resorting to "stealing" to avoid burdening her with feeding him. He has been very mysterious about his family and personal life. Stargirl also discovers the truth about Perry. Perry and Stargirl share a sunrise kiss, ending Stargirl's confusion over having feelings for both Leo and Perry, but leaving her to deal with the reality of living with uncertainty.Īs winter sets in, Stargirl turns herself to planning her Winter Solstice party, inviting all of the people she has encountered in her new town to celebrate the beginning of winter by joining her at sunrise on the Enchanted Hill, which she nows calls Calendar Hill. Once Stargirl recovers, she returns to her Enchanted Hill to plant the next spatula, only to find Perry has been planting them in her absence.
She is also getting calls from Betty Lou. She stays in the hospital for five weeks, getting visited by Dootsie (in her Halloween costume), Alvina, a grumpy young girl who delivers donuts to Betty Lou, Perry, a teen boy who she is falling in love with, and his harem: The Honeybees. With the arrival of autunm, Stargirl's life is affected when, arriving at her Enchanted Hill to plant another spatula in her solar calendar, a calendar counting down the days to the Winter Solstice, she sees a house on fire, and in her attempt to break in to warn any possible residents, she ends up in the hospital with smoke-damaged lungs and a sprained ankle. She is quite nice and Stargirl soon becomes friends with her as well.
She befriends Dootsie, a loud but lovable 6-year-old who takes a shine to Stargirl and her pet rat.ĭootsie introduces her to Betty Lou, an agoraphobic elder woman. New in town, homeschooled, and feeling rejected by Leo, the 16-year-old narrator of the first book who had fallen under her spell, she is lonely and sad-her "happy wagon," where she keeps stones representing her level of happiness, is almost empty.
