Forgotten Friday is something new here at bookmarked! After researching other memes, I discovered there really weren't any that featured the books we've always wanted to read but keep forgetting about. This is an idea I've had floating around for a while because I am notorious for wanting to read old releases and getting side tracked by the new books constantly coming out.
This week's featured book is . . .
Stargirl
first published August 2000
I read several of Jerry Spinelli's books when I was a kid including Wringer, Maniac Magee, and Library Card, but I never got around to Stargirl. I probably would have had a happier adolescence if I had. A story of individuality and quirkiness, I wish I hadn't waited so long to read it, but I know I'll enjoy it more when I finally do. What book(s) do you think you've missed out on?

My daughter loved this book! In fact, she loves anything and everything by Spinelli! Great choice..

I adored Stargirl and Love, Stargirl. They are both wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOne of my students wouldn't stop gushing about this book, so I read it myself and learned why she was entranced by it.
