BOOKS YOU JUST HAVE TO READ!

Love, Star Girl

Star Girl is back!  She’s moved across the country and this time we hear her perspective through a year-long journal.  Well, actually it’s a long letter – to Leo!  Meet her new friends and find out how she adjusts to another new place while discovering more about herself.  Love, Star Girl was written by Jerry Spinelli. 

 

Dovey Coe

I think you should read Dovey Coe by Frances O’Roark Dowell because Dovey is a unique character.  She is tough, smart, and resourceful.  She is accused of murder in this book and she’s only 12!  One of the reasons this book is so cool is that the author writes exactly like the characters speak.  It makes it much more realistic.

 

Star Girl

You just have to read Star Girl by Jerry Spinelli because it is a unique love story told from the perspective of the guy.  The lead character can’t help falling in love with the new girl at school even though she is a bit weird and his friends –and most of the school – have a rough relationship with her.  You will love Star Girl, both the book and the character!
