Love, Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli

The sequel to Stargirl finds her in a new state far from Arizona. The book is a long letter to her former boyfriend, Leo, about her new life, the people she meets and things she experiences in her day-to-day life. Stargirl befriends an energetic six year old named Dootsie, meets an agorophibic named Betty Lou, and is intrigued by a mysterious boy named Perry who has been seen around town stealing things. The book leads up to a Winter Solstice celebration Stargirl puts together. There are observations about small town life, humor, especially from Dootsie, and reflections on the people she meets and their experiences. The audio book is narrated well by Mandy Seigried.
