I rated this book 1 because it was boring. I almost fell asleep during it a bunch of times. If i could of i would of rated it lower like in the negitves. it was probably the worst book of all time though.

I feel that Stargirl is an excellent book due to it challenging your mind. The book made me not want to put it down. It is very enchanting because it makes your mind wonder rapidly. I feel Stargirl is deserving of recognition and well deserving of a 5!
Brittany Robeson (04/01/04)

I think that Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli was a really good book. I think that it was so good because it had many different themes to book. I think that the main theme was not to think about what other people think and just to be yourself. I think that friends, like Leo did, should except you for who you are and not talk to anyone just because they might be different. I think that Stargirl was a really good book and I recomend this book to anyone.

I think that star girl was a really great book.It was overall intresting and fun to read.I really think that stargirl is a book that sends out a very special message, Everyone is diffrent and if somepne doesnt act like others are dress or try to be like other doesnt mean you have to treat them wrong. Everyone is diffrent in their own way. I think Jerry Spinelli is a great author and I think stargirl was one of the best books I have ever read.

Stargirl
I thought the book stargirl was an alright book but I personaly thought it was a little too boring. If Jerry Spinelli would have added more exciting or better details it would have made the book better. If I could have gave it a score between 1 and 10 I would give it a 3.

I think stargirl was an OK book. It was more interesting than it was boring. I think after you get into the book its really a very good book.
Kara Murrell (04/01/04)

I think that the book Stargirl was an awesome book. I don't get interested in many books but i got interested in this book. I would like to read this book again another time, because it is funny. This book was interesting to me because it had to do with people closer to my age. I don't like books with alot of old people as characters.

My name is, Amber McAllister. I rated this a 3 because I have read a book a lot worse and a lot better. So the book stargirl wsan't the best one that i have ever read but it's one book thats good. If you like enchanting places you'll definatly like "Stargirl"!! To really get in to this book you have to really know what its talking about. But Ashley Suttles and I have the same favorite part with the 'pick 'n' flickers'!!! That was the best part of the book!!!!
