你看见“星星女孩”了吗？
她像沙漠的天空一样神奇，像她的宠物鼠一样奇特，像她的名字一样神秘。
她穿古老的米色长裙，斜背着一把尤克里里琴；她在课桌上摆上插着雏菊的花瓶；她时常在毫无征兆的情况下发笑，在没有音乐的时候舞蹈；她为每一个过生日的人送上祝福，为赛场上的所有人欢呼。
她的到来，为寂静的米嘉中学带来了声音和色彩。大家被她的坦率和热情所深深吸引，不由自主地喜欢上她，又对她的与众不同、我行我素心怀恐惧。
人们说，她美好得不像真实的存在。不，她和希望一样真实，和人类的本源一般纯粹。她是一面镜子，让我们看到失落许久的自己。

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. 
Then 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.

Love,Stargirl《星星女孩续篇：爱》
还记得Stargirl“星星女孩”么？
她特立独行，她坚持自我，她做过太多我们想做而不敢做的事。她的离去和了无音讯让我们唏嘘不已。
2007年，作者杰瑞·史宾尼利续写了这部Love,Stargirl《爱》，以日记体的形式，讲述了星星女孩离开云母高中后在云母镇的生活回忆，带领我们从星星女孩自己的视角出发，去感悟流逝的时间、纯粹的生活、难以忘怀的李奥，当然，还有爱。

Love, Stargirl picks up a year after Stargirl ends and reveals the new life of the beloved character who moved away so suddenly at the end of Stargirl. The novel takes the form of “the world’s longest letter,” in diary form, going from date to date through a little more than a year’s time. In her writing, Stargirl mixes memories of her bittersweet time in Mica, Arizona, with involvements with new people in her life.
In Love, Stargirl, we hear the voice of Stargirl herself as she reflects on time, life, Leo, and—of course—love.杰瑞•史宾尼利（Jerry Spinelli）美国知名文学作家。16岁时在地方报上发表了一首描写美式足球赛的诗，转而想成为一名作家。盖兹堡学院毕业后，一边在杂志社上班，一边从事写作。前四部作品被拒，第五部小说《七年级太空站》（Space Station Seventh Grade）却意外获童书出版商青睐。其他作品包括获1991年纽伯瑞金奖的《疯狂麦基》（Maniac Magee）、获1998年纽伯瑞银奖的《小杀手》（Wringer），《失败者》（Loser）、《碰撞》（Crash）和自传体小说《溜溜绳扣》（Knots in My Yo-yo String）等。

Jerry Spinelli is the author of many novels for young readers, including The Warden’s Daughter; Stargirl; Love, Stargirl; Milkweed; Crash; Wringer; and Maniac Magee, winner of the Newbery Medal; along with Knots in My Yo-Yo String, the autobiography of his childhood. A graduate of Gettysburg College, he lives in Pennsylvania with his wife, poet and author Eileen Spinelli.When I was little, my uncle Pete had a necktie with a porcupine painted on it. I thought that necktie was just about the neatest thing in the world. Uncle Pete would stand patiently before me while I ran my fingers over the silky surface, half expecting to be stuck by one of the quills. Once, he let mc wear t. I kept looking for one of my own, but I could never find one.

I was twelve when we moved from Pennsylvania to Arizona. When Uncle Pete came to say good-bye, he was wearing the tie. I thought he did so to give mc one last look at it, and I was grateful. But then, with a dramatic flourish, he whipped off the tic and draped it around my neck. “It’s yours,” he said. “Going-away present.”
I loved that porcupine tie so much that I decided to start a collection. Two years after we settled in Arizona, the number of ties in my collection was still one. Where do you find a porcupine necktie in Mica, Arizona—or anywhere else, for that matter?
On my fourteenth birthday, I read about myself in the local newspaper. The family section ran a regular feature about kids on their birthdays, and my mother had called in some info. The last sentence read: “As a hobby, Leo Bullock collects porcupine neckties.”
Several days later, coming home from school, I found a plastic bag on our front step. Inside was a gift-wrapped package tied with yellow ribbon. The tag said “Happy Birthday!” I opened the package. It was a porcupine necktie. Two porcupines were tossing darts with their quills, while a third was picking its teeth.
I inspected the box, the tag, the paper. Nowhere could I have the giver’s name. I asked my parents. I asked my friends. I called my uncle Pete. Everyone denied knowing anything about it.
At the time I simply considered the episode a mystery. It did not occur to me that I was being watched. We were all being watched.
