Stargirl is a wonderful book. It's actually the best book ive ever read. It will make you smile, cry, and feel bad for her. When I was reading this book I didin"t want to put it down so if you want to read a really good book read Stargirl!

This book is a good book to read. In my class we read it and it was great. It was very interesting and unpredictable. Stargirl is the best and most outgoing character in the book. This boy named Leo falls in love with her and everyone makes fun of him and her. This book is constantly changing . I would recommend it to anyone.

Stargirl was a very facinating book. It really gets its message across. This book tells us, not to judge others, not to be greedy, and not to have an ego. I liked how it connected to me. Many people, not only me, but also many others can relate to it. All of the messages were in a riddle. Well I hope you read the book also.

Stargirl was a good one but not one i would recommend someone to read. All it is about is this girl coming to a new school and she songs and plays happy birthday to people.This book is real boring. I think my teacher wasted her time reading it to us. The only good thing about it is that it teaches people how to respect people.

I thought this book was a decent book. The book is not a book that is going to win an award,but it should not be critisized. I am overall glad that i read this book.One reason i was not thrilled with this book is because it was kinda slow.

The book Stargirl I thought was an awesome book. Stargirl is an easy read book and it is very easy to understand. I think the book Stargirl teaches an awesome lesson for those who like to make fun of others and be hateful. I loved this book and I think that Jerry Spinelli is an awesome author.

The book, "Stargirl" was an excellent book. I liked it because it was full of romance, action, and silly! "Stargirl" is a hard to describe kind of girl. She is thought to have come from outer space!! When the narrator, Leo Borlock, sets his eyes on Stargirl, he falls in love! Stargirl is a cannot-put-down kind of book. I highly recommend it to anyone.

I rated the book Stargirl a 3 because it was a good book at the beginning, but I did not like the way it ended. I liked the way Stargirl was one of those people who don't care what people think of her, but did her own thing. Stargirl was an excellent book at the beginning, but at the end it just really ticked me off. Even though I thought it was good, it was still very confusing throughout the whole book. That is why I rated Stargirl a 3.
