For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
Why does Spinelli write Stargirl from Leo’s perspective? What are the advantages of this point of view? What are the disadvantages? How would the story be different if Stargirl was the narrator?
What does Stargirl see in Leo? Why does she choose him to be her boyfriend? What does Leo see in Stargirl that makes him want to be with her? What things about Stargirl does Leo dislike?
When the Mica High students warm to Stargirl and cheer her for winning the local speech competition, Leo says, “Such was the acclamation we gave her in those last weeks of the year. But we also gave something to ourselves.” (39). What do the students give to themselves? What changes does Stargirl bring to Mica High? How does Leo feel about these changes?
