Stargirl

I read "Stargirl" by Jerry Spinelli in middle school. As a fellow quirky outcast, I remember closely identifying with her.

This highly acclaimed novel following Leo as he moves and begins a new school in a new state and is forced to make new friends. A few years after moving, after establishing new relationships, Leo finally meets the infamous Stargirl, with her strange outfits and eccentric personality. 

Leo tells the story of Stargirl gaining and losing popularity, of him slowly falling in love with her kindess, bravery, and nonconformity. 

I don't remember a lot from this novel, expect that Leo and Stargirl (and most of their high school) were forever changed by this girls personality and willingness to be a little bit (or a lot of bit) outside of the box.

What book(s) that you read in middle school do you remember leaving an impact on you?
