I THOUGHT THAT STARGIRL WAS A STUPID AND BORING BORING BOOK! IIT WAS WAY TOOOOO EASY TO UNDERSTAND. I AM NOT INTO THESE KIND OF BOOKS AND I JUST HATED THIS BOOK. IT SEEMED AS IF THE BOOK WOULD NEVER END. ONE OF THE WORST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ.

I thought that Stargirl was a good book. I enjoyed reding this book. In the book a girl named Stargirl came to Mica High School. She was unusual to everyone at first everyone she have everything going her way. She made cheerleader, she was popular, but at the basketball games she cheered for both teams that brought her popularity way down. The only person who likes her is Leo. Then Stargirl moves.

Stargirl by Louis Lowry is a very interesting book. I really enjoyed it beacuse it showed that being different isn't always bad. Also it gave the students at Mica High School spirit. Antoher good thing about this book is, is that it gave many lijfe lessons. This a very good book and I would recommend it to everybody.

I think that the book star girl can teach us good lessons, for example; it teaches us that we should be kind to others whether they are kind to you or not.

I think that the book Stargirl from Jerry Spenelli was a really good book. I think its great that we still have good writers. In the book it proves that popularity isn't everything.

I found this book by reading it in my Language Arts class.I gave it a five because this book is one of the best books that I have ever read. You will get into the book from the first chapter. You will love this book!! Jerri Spenalli is a very good book writer. I have read most of his books and they are fabulous, too. I think that no matter how old you are you will love this book!! She does alot that we at a kid or teenage would do. She reads news papers and watches the news. If you want to know why then you should read the book. She also falls in love, but I'm not going to tell you what happens. I challenge you to read this book and see if you like it, too.

Stargirl is a good book this is a story about a girl that tries to fit in and after a will she starts to fit in but it turned around really fast when she started chearing for the other team thin the girls where picking on her and the bus driver asked if every body was here and they left her behind thats the only part I dont like but other than that I really liked this book it teached me not to pick on other people just because there diffrent. the end
