With the arrival of autunm, Stargirl's life is affected when, arriving at her Enchanted Hill to plant another spatula in her solar calendar, a calendar counting down the days to the Winter Solstice, she sees a house on fire, and in her attempt to break in to warn any possible residents, she ends up in the hospital with smoke-damaged lungs and a sprained ankle. She is quite nice and Stargirl soon becomes friends with her as well. She befriends Dootsie, a loud but lovable 6-year-old who takes a shine to Stargirl and her pet rat.ĭootsie introduces her to Betty Lou, an agoraphobic elder woman. New in town, homeschooled, and feeling rejected by Leo, the 16-year-old narrator of the first book who had fallen under her spell, she is lonely and sad-her "happy wagon," where she keeps stones representing her level of happiness, is almost empty. Stargirl, living now in Pennsylvania, tells her own story this time, in "the world's longest letter," which is actually a series of journal entries.
