I thought it was one of the best books I have ever read. It showed me that you shouldn't care about what people think of you, like Stargirl. I don't like reading that much, but this book was so good.

The stargirl book is very good i would recommend it to Ages 12 and over. This book is very good and interesting. I give this book a 5 out of 5.

This is my favorite book of all time. This book made me happy it made me sad and made me cry. The thing I disliked the most was the end. Through the few last chapters i was waiting for him and "Stargirl" to get back together or at least see each other one last time. Although i disliked the ending I still give it a 5 out of 5

I did like this book because it was very unique in a way that life could really be. It reminded me of myself becuase i'm unique in a way that no one could immitate me. Stargil was also great because it was interesting to make you want to find out what she might do next. It was also sad because I didn't want stargirl to leave and the way they treated her was wrong and humiliating. I did like this book to a certain acstent, but it was pretty good.
