She’s thirteen and currently living in a Dodge Van in her garden (to get away from sleeping in the same bed as her eccentric mother). But with his dad gone most of the time and David refusing to let his grandmother comfort him, he’s a lonely boy. His mother died a year before in a freak accident and he and his father live with his grandmother. In a quiet moment I had a glance at Chapter 1 and before I knew what had hit me I was half way through Chapter 5 and had missed my tea break.ĭavid is nine. It was therefore with joy I spied Eggs, another quirky looking book by Jerry Spinelli on the shelf in the bookshop. But with Stargirl I just knew it was an exceptional book that my daughter would love – and I was right. I don’t usually make my kids read at all, ever…the choice is always up to them. A book I practically insisted my daughter read is Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli.
