I just read a YA novel called Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. This is the best book I have read in a long time. Here's the short description from Amazon:
"Stargirl. 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."
It's encouraging, thought provoking, uplifting, funny. Stargirl represents the kind of decency and unafraid individualism we all aspire to. I definitely recommend this one if you're a fan of YA.

I have this book...sitting on my bedside table...and am anxiously waiting to read it! I'm glad it's so good! :) I am almost done with the Shopaholic series, so perhaps I'll skip some of the others I have lined up to read Stargirl.
