Stargirl

I think Stargirl was one of the very best books i have ever read. This book has had some very interesting stuff in it. My favorite parts of the of the book was the pick-n-flickers and the part where Stargirl and Leo kissed. I would like to know where Stargirl went to in such a hurry. I hope that Stargirl and Leo will meet up again. I also hope that Jerry Spinelli will write a second book on Stargirl. I rate this book a five because of these reasons.

I loved reading the book Stargirl! It was a great book to read and I had a hard time putting it down and stop reading it. I was always wondering what would come next. I always wanted to read on and never stop until the end. Stargirl was about kinda what some people would go through if they acted like her in our school. But, since we don't have a T.V. show, she wouldn't be put on a T.V. show. If that did happen, I would wonder who would be the Hillarie Kimble in our school. You never know. I think that Jerry Spinelli should write a sequal to this book.

I thought Stargirl was a very good book. Some parts of the book were sad and some were funny. I would like to read another book like this somtime again. I don't think Stargirl should have just left like that. I would recommend this book to anyone.

I thought that "Stargirl" deserved a 4 is because this book encourages all of us to appreciate our individuality. I don't think it deserves a 5 because I got really stressed out over where Stargirl had gone and if she and Leo ever saw each other again. But I think they would, you know, 'cause of the porcupine tie thing. . . .

The book stargirl was very boring. I feel asleep many times. I Just dont like books like that.

The book 'Stargirl' was a very good book. It was like an emoitional rollercoaster, with it's ups and downs. I've read better, and I wasn't pleased with the ending. Other than that, though, I would recommend reading it. It was a very captivating novel, and it makes you want to find your own enchanted place...

I think that Stargirl was a very good book. Some parts were boring and this book was mostly a girl- kind- of book. I believe that this book was sad and interesting and fun! I would recommend this book to other people. This book could make you laugh, cry, and have no feelings at all to "erase" yourself!
