Star Girl by Jerry Spinelli (7 out of 10)

Another Young Adult book!

This particular story by award winning, Spinelli tells the story of Star Girl, a Jesus like character. Set in an Arizona high school, the title character is at different times an object of derision and worship. The narrator is a typical teenage boy who comes to admire Star Girl's values but must confront his own need to fit in.

This book really explores the value of individuality, which is a hard issue for most teens.

Originality- 7
