Stargirl

Just glorious. A tale to put a smile on your face and bring a little tear to your eye. People say Stargirl’s a freak. But Leo’s in love… Stargirl lives her own sweet way, doing her own sweet thing. She’s as magical and mysterious as the desert sky. She plays a ukulele, singing Happy Birthday to strangers. Her mission is to spread happiness – and she captures Leo’s heart with just one smile. At first, Stargirl shocks the other kids. Then she charms them. But one day, they turn on her. Can she rise above it? A beautiful tale of freedom, first love… and daring to be different, however hard it gets.
