Plot Summary


On the first day of the school, students are whispering about a new girl named Stargirl Caraway who has been homeschooled. They differentiate her due to her behavior. She sings Happy Birthday with an ukulele to people who they are not aware of each other and also carries her pet rat in her bag with a picture of sunflower on it. Hillari Kimble states that she is a plant and not real that comes to the school to polish the school spirit. Leo Borlock and Kevin Quilan were fascinated with Stargirl. They have a disagreement about putting her on the Hot Sear, a local cable television program, since Leo who feels it’s going to cause a problem refuse to do it, but Kevin who thinks it’s going to be etremely popular wants to produce it. Eventually, they undertake the show but it is ended with failure. Although many people avoid Stargirl, she makes a friend named Dori Dilson, a ninth-grader who is an unpopular girl. They sit together during lunch while others hav fun watching her actions. At a school football game, she cheers the players even though she is distracting the game and the judge is warning her. She gets everyone’s attention and takes an offer to become a cheerleader. They abruptly begin to play ukulele and buy rats. As Leo and Stargirl are getting to know each other, he discovers her kindness that she gives a random person a gift he or her wants by getting information from newspapers or bulletin boards.
However, her conduct leads to worse again. She sings Happy Birthday on Hilari’s birthday even though she said not to. During the football game,she cheers the losing opponents. Only few people know that Leo and Stargirl was a couple. As she put a poster saying that Leo loves Stargirl, he begins to be excluded along with her. Then he tries to hide his love for her from his friends. He requests her to become normal. She changed rapidly as he sees her every day (she also changed her name to Susan which is her actual name), but it doesn’t last long. Few weeks later, she participates in the oral presentation contest which she gets the first place, and she gives a lecture called “I Might Have Heard a Moa.” Leo doesn’t invite Stargirl to the Ocotillo Ball. Yet she goes there with Dori, and Leo watches it from the outside of the school. Students are surprised by Stargirl who dresses beautifully and amazingly gorgeous. Several boys dance with her ,and the prom ends in graceful mood. Despite that, Hillari comes and slappes her saying she ruins everything. After that, no one sees her again. Fifteen years later, Leo goes to see Archie who is a great advisor for him and for children. He shows Leo Stargirl’s secret office where there are maps, photo albums containing pictures and stories about her friends including Hillari’s.

The conclusion describes the latest news about the characters that Kevin became an insurance salesman; also the high school has a club called Sunflowers where you have to promise to do something nice for someone every day to join it.
