Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 6–10—This brilliant sequel to Stargirl (Knopf, 2000) takes place a year later. Now living in Pennsylvania, Stargirl, 15, continues to pine for Leo, who dumped her, and struggles to make a place for herself in her new community. Fortunately, her eclectic neighbors, who include Dootsie, a five-year-old "human bean"; Betty Lou, an agoraphobic divorcée; and Perry Delloplane, an amiable thief, draw her back into life and happiness. Written in diary format-the "world's longest letter," as Stargirl calls it-this novel is as charming and unique as its sensitive, nonconformist heroine. Addressing loss, growing pains, and staying true to oneself, this stellar follow-up is both profound and funny.—Terri Clark, Smokey Hill Library, Centennial, CO

Mandy Siegfried gives a multilayered portrayal of heroine Stargirl, who is sometimes a font of optimism and creativity and other times a girl with a broken heart. The story is told in a letter from Stargirl to her ex-boyfriend, Leo, telling him about her move from Arizona to Pennsylvania. Soon Stargirl meets the eccentric 6-year-old Dootsie, whom Siegfried depicts with an appropriately childish pitch. Then theres gruff Elvina, an 11-year-old bully and doughnut angel, who delivers dozens of goodies to agoraphobic Betty Lou. These are a few of the quirky characters expertly portrayed by Siegfried.
