Stargirl also discovers the truth about Perry, whose mother has a new baby, whom Perry has been trying to support by working several jobs last summer and by resorting to "stealing" to avoid burdening her with feeding him. Perry and Stargirl share a sunrise kiss, ending Stargirl's confusion over having feelings for both Leo and Perry, but leaving her to deal with the reality of living with uncertainty.Īs winter sets in, Stargirl turns herself to planning her Winter Solstice party, inviting all of the people she has encountered in her new town to celebrate the beginning of winter by joining her at sunrise on the Enchanted Hill. Once Stargirl recovers, she returns to her Enchanted Hill to plant the next spatula, only to find Perry has been planting them in her absence. She stays in the hospital for one week, getting visited by Dootsie (in her waffle halloween costume),Alvina, the Honeybees and Perry, also getting calls from Betty Lou.
With the arrival of autumn, Stargirl's life is affected when, arriving at her Enchanted Hill to plant another spatula in her solar calendar, she sees a house on fire, and in her attempt to break in to warn any possible residents, ends up in the hospital with smoke-damaged lungs and a sprained ankle. Stargirl, despite the fact that along with Perry come his " harem" of girls known as the Honeybees who share his attention and affections, finds she has feelings for Perry. Along with Alvina, Stargirl gets to know Perry, a generally unsociable fellow who matches her in both wit and confidence (realising this when they first talked on the top of his roof in the middle of the night). At the request of Alvina's mother (after hearing how Stargirl dealt with Alvina and her little brother fighting), Stargirl takes Alvina under her wing, and along with Dootsie, spend the summer engaged in various activities.
Over the summer Stargirl develops a closer relationship with Alvina, who is struggling to make the transition between child and teenager.
She befriends Dootsie, a loud but loveable 5 year old who takes a shine to Stargirl and her pet rat Cinnamon. This leads to her missing out the Vernal Equinox and emptying her happy wagon. Love, Stargirl begins on New Year's Day as the first of many entries in the "world's longest letter" from the main character.ĭuring the first months in the book, she is still confused over her feelings for Leo but still says this to him in the letter as she has 'nothing to hide' from him.
