Stargirl is a wonderful book. It's actually the best book ive ever read. It will make you smile, cry, and feel bad for her. When I was reading this book I didin"t want to put it down so if you want to read a really good book read Stargirl!

Stargirl was a very facinating book. It really gets its message across. This book tells us, not to judge others, not to be greedy, and not to have an ego. I liked how it connected to me. Many people, not only me, but also many others can relate to it. All of the messages were in a riddle. Well I hope you read the book also.

The book Stargirl I thought was an awesome book. Stargirl is an easy read book and it is very easy to understand. I think the book Stargirl teaches an awesome lesson for those who like to make fun of others and be hateful. I loved this book and I think that Jerry Spinelli is an awesome author.

I love this book! It is so good. I really enjoyed it and ask everyone reading this to read it. I had this book at home and never read it, but after I read it I wish I would have read it alot sooner. Thank you for reading this review and I hope you like this book as much as I did.

Stargirl was the best book I have ever read! It was a little confusing at the beginning. After I read a few chapters I understood it better. I totally recommend it to parents who have younger kids. Read the book before bed or in the classroom. It seemed totally real! If you want to read it, it is really good.

This was one of the best books I have read. I think that Stargirl is funny and is realy true in who she is. I mean she had her own way of doing everything she did. She would not do what everyone else would do, but only what she whanted to do. Leo on the other hand was more like every one else he realy didn't like to be different he whanted to be like everyone else. When Stargirl was going out whith Leo I felt that Stargirl could make Leo see what she saw but she couldent. I also was really mad that Stargirl left and didn't come back.

I thought that this book is one of the best books I have ever read! I say that because in my mind i can really see a mental picture of Stargirl doing her crazy things. I encouge other people to read this book! I am a person that doesn't read books that much, lately I just started reading when I mean lately I mean like about two weeks ago. Also Jerry Spinell is so disscriptive when he wrote this book. I hope he will write a sequal to Stargirl.

At the beginning of Stargirl, I was not interested. After a few chapters, though, I became increasingly familiar with her and fell in love with the book. From my point of view, it is one of the best books you could ever read. You could say Stargirl was magnums. I never could figure out what she was going to do next. Some of the stunts she pulled made me think, "How could anyone be brave enough to stand in front of a crowd and act in such a manner." I could never do it that is for sure. Sometimes the actions of everyone would make you laugh aloud and sometimes make you want to cry. I really enjoyed the book.
