This book is about the journey Leo Borlock goes through and his affection for Stargirl.
Why Would The Word "Affection" Go With This Book?
This whole book is about the love story between Leo Borlock and the Stargirl Caraway. Unfortunately Leo and Stargirl hadn't gone to the end of the year dance as a couple, in fact, Leo did not go. But once it got dark Leo rolled up quite far just to see a bit of what was going on without anyone having to see him.

This showed that he still and he did have a beautifully strong affection for Stargirl.
