Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli

I loved this book. I would suggest this to kids 10 and up, since it has romance in it.
When a new girl shows up at the high school, Leo Borlock and his friends go crazy, since the girl is so different and has such an unusual name: Stargirl. Everyone loves her! The girls invite her to join the cheerleading team, but when they find out that she cheers for the enemy (other team), nobody likes her anymore, except for 2 special people...
I would recomend it because it is funny and Stargirl went through high school, even though lots of kids didn't like her.
