The book Stagirl was an ok book. It does make you think about being yourself and being nice to people. I didn't like it because Stargirl (the main character) was kind of "out there" sometimes. I believe the author, Jerry Spinelli, made this book for a younger age. I believe it would appeal to kids in the 5th or 6th grade more than our grade. It shows imagination and somewhat crazy ideas.

I think that Stargirl was a very good book. At times it was boring but it just led to more interesting things.

I rate this book as a #4 because, you did have some exciting and nonexciting parts to this book.

Stargirl was an ok book, but it ended really bad. Stargirl shouldn't have just poofed like that.
Stewart Campbell-12 (04/01/04)

I thought Stargirl was okay, but it could have been ALOT better. There was no action and it was all just drama. There was too much love and drama, and not enough action or comedy. I would not recommend this book to others.

We read the book stargirl. The book was o.k. It is about a girl that is very different and goes to a school called mica high school. It was sort of boring at times but it was kind of interesting at some times.
