- Synopsis
- JULIE MEYERS begins high school with everything going her way. Her best friend Mary Jo is in most of her classes. Drama Workshop is wonderful, and she's even gotten a part in the big spring musical. Best of all, basketball player Steve Marks obviously sees her as a very special person. Julie wouldn't change places with anyone in the world. And then. . . . Sometimes a word is spoken out loud that has such bad vibrations that everyone in the room reacts to it--like when someone mentions cancer, or tumor, or leukemia. You kind of shudder and say, "Well, it's not me," and cross your heart or your fingers or anything else flexible . ... But it was Julie. The aching immediacy of Barbara Girion's novel puts every reader in the place of Julie Meyers as she struggles against the cruelty of her "friends" and her own bitterness, searching desperately for her "handful of stars"--and finding them in unexpected places.
