Stargirl

I LOVE this book! Stargirl. If you haven't read it, it's a fast read and makes you want to be amazing. It's written for middle/high schoolers, but I'm reading this book with the girls in my class this year. We're calling it our girl book club. I've read it before and every time I read it, it inspires me to stand out and stop worrying about what other people think.

4th grade girls can have some GREAT discussions about what they read- especially if they LIKE what they're reading. This is the first book this year that we've read altogether, and that they keep asking me, "Can we read more? Can we read ahead?" I LOVE IT!

I've always had the desire to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe, one that screams confident, happy, and fun. But when I go out to try and accomplish this, I end up laughing at myself in front of the dressing room mirror, because I totally believe I can't pull it off... Again, this is why the book Stargirl is amazing- and annoying, because even though I know I look ridiculous in the "fun" clothes I want to be able to pull off, I know I'll try it again within the next few weeks because of this book! But trust me, this book is NOT about clothing and what you wear.

Live to the beat of your own drum. Read this book if you want to make a difference in the world. Read this book if you want to know what kind of person I dream of becoming. Read this book with your growing daughter if you want to have some interesting conversations. Read this book if you just want some happy inspiration.

Hey, I have an idea...
