I enjoyed Spinelli's follow up to Stargirl but it do t not grab me as much as the first. The almost mystical nature of the first book and the interesting method of delivery enchanted me. While I enjoy the look into Stargirl's life, there was less of a pull or urgency to it. I enjoyed the epistolary style and also the deeper insight into how Stargirl functions. Instead of the unreadable, magnetic and quirky girl from book one, we get a real, yet still remarkable person. She still carries the battlescars from Arizona, while remaining determined to withstand trials.
I suppose the lower rating results from several factors. One, I expected another whirlwind story. Two, I read it immediately after Stargirl, a world I refused to leave. I was looking for a different book, at my own peril.
Overall, I do recommend this book. Stargirl remains one of the best heroines I have come across in YA.
