Stargirl is a book that i randomly chose from the library not reading too often i was amazed when i read this book i related to it in so many ways and it made me open my eyes and look closer at things then i ever had before. I never noticed things the way that i see them now and it was becuase of this book that i can now do so. It has inspired me so much. I will be at the 2008 olympics in the Australian team.

It was great. I've seen a few, but not many, better books. and the rest were either worst or matched "Stargirl".
Eunice (08/26/04)

It was ok. It wasn' t something that caught my interest. Except for some parts of the book.
George (08/22/04)

I hated the book. It was too confusing.
Remy (08/20/04)

I absolutely loved this book! Not only are there lessons taught throughout this book but it beautifully displays the pressure and "unspoken" rules of highschool that determine a person's status. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who knows what it's like to be singled out or picked on.
