From the day she arrives at quiet Mica High, Stargirl turns heads with a burst of color and sound. She captures Leo Borlock's heart with just one smile and sparks a school-spirit revolution with just one cheer. The students of Mica High are enchanted—at first.

Then they turn on her. Suddenly, Stargirl is shunned for everything that makes her different, and Leo, panicked, urges her to do the one thing that can destroy her: become normal.

With unforgettable characters and a timeless premise, this story is sure to spark lively debates about popularity, kindness, and courage.
