Narrative style
"Spinelli's use of a narrator allows readers the distance necessary to appreciate Stargirl's eccentricity and Leo's need to belong to the group," wrote Sharon Grover, a librarian. Grover also discussed the issue that the relationship between characters "makes the ending all the more disappointing--to discover that Leo is looking back imposes an unnecessary adult perspective on what happened in high school." Stargirl and Leo, "who falls in love with Stargirl's zany originality," will always be a reminder of the importance of individuality.
