I'm drawn to coming-of-age books, and among them my favorite is Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. Stargirl to this so-called normal world is...well, weird. She is the type of girl who knew everyone's birthday, and if it were yours, she'd come up to you and sing in front of the entire high school. She is so unusual that her peers were both fascinated and put off by her strange behavior. At the height of her popularity, she became a cheerleader. Her school lost a game, and she cheered for the other team. No one understood her. How can she have no sense of school spirit? No sense of loyalty? To her, anyone winning is cause for celebration, no matter who it is. She saw everyone as equals. She is a yogi.
