Stargirl: More Than Stars Summary & Analysis

Leo doesn’t stay in touch with many Mica High kids, though he still talks to Kevin. Kevin stayed in Mica and became an insurance salesman instead of a talk show host. Kevin tells Leo that people still speculate about Stargirl at high school reunions. People always ask each other, “Were you on the bunny hop?” They even tried to recreate the famous dance at a recent reunion, but it wasn’t the same.

Nowadays, Mica High has a new club called the Sunflowers, in which members must promise to do “one nice thing per day for someone other than myself.” The Electrons’ marching band has a ukulele player. There’s now a tradition of cheering for an opposing team’s first basket at every game. Once, Leo drives past Stargirl’s house and sees a grown-up Peter Sinkowitz outside his house. He wonders if Peter is old enough to appreciate the scrapbook yet.

Leo throws himself into his set design work. But sometimes he leaves spare change on the sidewalk and listens for mockingbirds. He reads newspapers cover to cover, including the fillers. He reads of little acts of kindness happening everywhere. Every time, he wonders, “Is she there?”

Leo wonders what Stargirl calls herself nowadays and if he’ll ever get another chance with her. Although he’s single, he doesn’t feel alone—he knows he is being watched. Last month, he received a birthday package in the mail. It contained a porcupine necktie.
