I think that Stargirl was a very wonderful book. I really enjoyed this book it had very interesting details in it. If anyone read the book stargirl it would be the best book ever.

I thought the book Stargirl was interesting and funny. It tells you that you should be kind to others even though you do not know them. This is what Stargirl does. Leo Borlock loves her even though she is different then every one else.

I didn't like the book that much it was ok but it just didn't intrest me.I think it would be better for about a third grader to read. I gave the book a 2 in rating.
Beth Buchanan (04/01/04)

I enjoyed the book Stargirl. i thought that it had a very interesting plot. I loved the way Jerry spinelli Showed Stargirl as such a care free person.I think that it is a great book for teenagers to read since it deals with many of the problems that todays youth may have.
CJ Smith (04/01/04)

Stargirl is an enchanting book placing you under her spell, like with Leo Borlock. Leos will love it, but Hillaris, well I can't say you shall love or like it with confidence in saying it. I even encourage younger kids to read Stargirl. I am 12 years old and in seventh grade, the year, 2004.

Hi, my name is George Howard. This book is a good book. I like this book because I am interested in reading. This book has a "don't be afraid to ask" way of speech. I found this book Stargirl more interesting than all others. This book made me think of losing someone.
