Love, Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli

My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
It was a bit of a letdown after Stargirl. I think I liked wondering what is going on in Stargirl’s mind (the first book) vs. being privy to all her typical teenage insecurities (this book) The diary/letter format struck me as a bit [...]

Blogger, “Treehugger,” requested a “doing mission” vs. an “observing mission.”  She’s smart, we can love Gaia all we want, but unless [...]



Mission #4
