Stargirl enchants the audience with a story about a girl who has an angelic and beautiful soul, who dances through life, dropping the jaws of everyone around her. All reactions about this girl are strong — positive or negative. She is a force to be reckoned with and no one who ever meets her can help but be changed. Stargirl could be a learning experience for us all, teaching us to shine in our own ways, despite the social pressures around us. It is an especially valuable lesson for preteens, who face more social pressures than most, and while they are most vulnerable. Stargirl would make a meaningful gift for any kid.
