Synopsis:\nThis "Publishers Weekly" Best Book of the Year tells a story about the perils of popularity, the courage of nonconformity, and the thrill of first love, an eccentric student named Stargirl changes Mica High School forever. \n\nSynopsis:\nStargirl. From the day she arrives at quiet Mica High in a burst of color and sound, the hallways hum with the murmur of “Stargirl, Stargirl.” She captures Leo Borlock’s heart with just one smile. She sparks a school-spirit revolution with just one cheer. The students of Mica High are enchanted. At first. \n\nThen they turn on her. Stargirl is suddenly shunned for everything that makes her different, and Leo, panicked and desperate with love, urges her to become the very thing that can destroy her: normal. In this celebration of nonconformity, Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli weaves a tense, emotional tale about the perils of popularity and the thrill and inspiration of first love.\n\nThen in:  www.quakerbooks.org/get/0-375-82233-x -   you have the following:\n\nJerry Spinelli has yet again masterfully created a realistic fiction story with which all young adults should identify while seeing themselves in the characters. Spinelli's easy writing style and use of teen friendly dialogue make this selection an easy read for almost any young adult no matter what their reading level or ability. The story begins with the arrival of a new girl in school as told through the eyes of fellow 10th grader, Leo Burlock. Whispers and rumors run wild as the new student, Stargirl Caraway, begins to make her way through the school. Stargirl is a 10th grader who has just arrived at Mica Area High School in Mica, Arizona (it could have been Anywhere, USA), wearing pioneer type dresses, kimonos and strumming a ukulele and carrying her pet rat! This shocks the school, which is not exactly a "hotbed of originality". In time the student body gives away to her free spirit and friendliness. They begin to rejoice in her extraordinary and impromptu antics such as singing Happy Birthday to everyone in the school cafeteria and her spectacular acrobatics as a cheerleader. However, soon the popularity begins to wear off as Stargirl carries it a little too far in the eyes of the student body. Leo Borlock befriends Stargirl and ultimately becomes his first love. Leo is torn between the conformity issue at school and truly expressing his individuality and love for Stargirl. This plot, while chronological in nature, moves very smoothly as the relationship between Stargirl and Leo intensifies. The characters in the novel are related to the reader through the eyes of sixteen year old, Leo Borlock. Leo seems to a typical teen in every way; he honors the unspoken rule of teendom: "don't stand out - under any circumstances". Leo is both attracted and repelled by her. Leo's character changes as he realizes that Stargirl seems to like him. He eventually braves up enough to go to her house and befriend her, while also being seen in public with her. As the popularity slows to a stop and eventually turns into Stargirls emeny, Leo has to make decisions about his friendship with Stargirl. Stargirl Caraway is fun loving, free-spirited and totally impromptu. She marches to the beat of her own drummer and does not seem to notice the ways others react her. The changes in her character occur after a long talk with Leo about the way "they" see her. She changes her clothing and her way of dealing with people. In essence, she becomes a regular teen at Mica High in order to please Leo and fit in with the crowd. She eventually finds she is better off to be her true self. Person versus society is the obvious conflict in this novel. Both Stargirl and Leo are in conflict with society and the option to conform or not conform. Although they handle the conflict in different ways, both feel the need to conform. While Stargirl chooses the road of nonconformity, Leo eventually chooses to confo

Ella Enchanted (my favorite book of ALL TIME!!) If your 15 you should like the 'Princess Diares' seris by Meg Cabot, those are really good. as well as 'Size 12 is not fat' (By Meg Cabot) It's a murder mystery. umm 'The secret life of bees' by Sue Monk Kidd is pretty good, it's about life in the 60's. If you like greek myths than the 'Myth~O~Mania' books by Kate McMullan, are pretty good, there the 'real' myths told her way. Very Funny. If you like Adventur i would suggest the Alex Rider seris (first one is called 'Stormbreaker' by Anthoney Ho...something)

Talk To You Later by Lauren Myracle\n\n224 pages | ISBN 0810948214 | Harry N. Abrams\n\nThe first novel told entirely in instant messages!\n\nWith the warmth and wisdom she brought to her first novel, Kissing Kate, Lauren Myracle follows the friendship of three fifteen-year-old girls-Angela (SnowAngel), Maddie (mad maddie), and Zoe (zoegirl)-through the roller coaster ride of tenth grade, with its boy temptation, donut runs, driving lessons, math torture, and queen bee encounters. The winsome threesome handles it all...then life suddenly jumps the tracks. A jerky boy sends peppy Angela into the dumps. Tough Maddie makes a mistake that has the whole school talking. And good girl Zoe ends up in over her head with a flirty teacher. Just when they need one another most, their friendship seems ready to fall apart.\n\nThe distinctive voices of the three girls, as captured in their IMs, give this novel authenticity and heart. It's an epistolary novel for the twenty-first century, from the keyboard of an author whose work has been called "enchanting...uplifting" (VOYA), "unusually candid" (Publishers Weekly), and "insightful" (The Denver Post).

Closest thing I could find was The Modern Girl's Guide to Life by Jane Buckingham

Do your own homework...\n\nbut direct characterization is where the author comes out right and says characteristics.  So look for descriptions and introductions of characters in the book.

"Bad Girls of the Bible" and "Really Bad Girls of the Bible" are both great books.  Also DC Talk has a book called "jesus freaks" which is a bunch of short stories about martyrs around the world, excellent book and a quick read.\n\nPurpose Driven Life is a good book as well. \n\nIf you want a good book to read in regards to eduction as well, "Reading the Bible for All it's Worth" (or it may be How to Read the Bible for All It's Worth). Very good book to help you discern what you are reading and the relevance of it.\n\nCase for Christ and Case for a Creator are by Lee Strobel.  He was an anthiest set out to disprove God/Christ and instead became a believer.\n\nLeft Behind series, Present Darkness series (although it can spook you) etc are all books that focus on tribulation/revelations.

The book is by Louis Sachar and it takes place in a school, to the best of my knowledge.  It's about a boy that's between the ages of ten and twelve.

LOL.

Looks like an interesting series of books by Cate Tiernan.  Had to go to Borders to find it.\n\nFrom reading the excerpts it appears to be sort of a 'diary' of a young teen just coming into her own.  She has a lot of decisions to make and a big revelation to cope with.  I'm hoping the series does not get too 'dark', but hey, life has it's darkness sometimes. If you learn something to help you cope with this world, go for it. "an harm none"  So mote it be. \n\nI am surprised no one has even attempted to answer your question, I'm hoping there are readers out there and not everyone lives on the net!

Start by writing down everything you remember about the story, consider how it made you feel while you were reading it and why it made you feel that way. Look at the question the teacher has asked and you should be able to make connections between what you have written and what is being asked. It it is a straight book review start with the title, author and a brief synopsis of the story, If you haven't read it, read the first two chapters and the first page of every chapter and then the final chapter...good luck
