I really liked this book. It was very interesting to read! I didnt want to put the book down after we got to the good parts of the book like when Leo started to like stargirl! The only thing i didnt like about the book was that Leo didnt ask stargirl to the Octotillo ball. I think she would have stayed if he wanted to go with her. He didnt and she left, then it tells what happens to all the other people but not stargirl. I mean the book wasnt called boigraphy of the students of Mica high!!!

The book Stargirl was a good book. It was interesting to see who he would pick.I'm wondering if he will write a Stargirl two and make Leo and Susan meet again.

Stargirl was on okay book. I think this because the storyline wasn't all that beliveable and kind-of stupid. Some good things were the fact that Stargirl was different and that Leo wasn't a bad guy. Some of the bad things were that Stargirl did some pretty wierd stuff that no one would really do. Stargirl did have some funny parts in them like when Leo and Stargirl kissed, Amber McAllister and I liked that part.

The book Stargirl was a good and intresting book. The book wants you to keep reading more and more to find out how Stargirl will deal with the things that happened at her school. I could have been better!

This is one of the best books I have ever read. It has the qualities of a very good book also. I like this book because it tells you how different and unique people can be. That is my review on this book.
