I gave this book a 4 because the book is great for our (12-13) age group. Stargirl is so "strange" as some people may say. The book makes you want to learn more about Stargirl. It tells about life problems, such as popularity and etc. I didn't give it a 5 because it doesn't have a lot of action in this book, but I recommend this book to anyone.

I think that "Stargirl" is a very good book. This is most likely why i rated this book 4. I liked this book very much. Life around my school is very much like this. I do think that he could have written it with a little more of collage education. This is what I think about the book.

I think that the book Stargirl is pretty much a really great book. The only reason I rated it a 4 was because I really didn't like how it ended. I was really hoping that it would end differently. Other than that I loved the book! The book was very descriptive and that really helped you understand it better. I think Jerry Spinelli is a great writer, and he really did a good job on Stargirl.
Tyler Dacus

The book Stargirl is a good book. This is a good book to read but Stargirl is a little weird. She dresses very strangely and acts very weird. I recommend this book for many people.
Adrianne Owens

Stargirl was one of the most best books that I have ever read. I thought it was an exellent book and I would incourage anyone to read it. The only part that I did not really like was the way it ended, but that is the only thing I would change. It was also really sad knowing that Stargirl and Leo were never going to see each other again. Overall this was a very good book.
Jessica Bible

I think this book is a excellent book. Stargirl is a great book beacause a lot of people are really like Stargirl. I would recommend this book to anyone.

I think that Stargirl is a good book no a great book becouse it could teach people some lessons about being popular. Like being popular is a bad thing becouse if one day you walk into school and you do somthing thats imbaressing then people could start to make fun of you and not think your cool anymore. Thats why I like this book it teaches you things and i defenitly have learned my
lesson.

Stargirl is one of the best books I've read. It teaches many life lessons throughout the book, like don't judge people by how they look. I hope many other people that read this book like it. I hope Spineli writes many more books as "STARGIRL."
