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.

I enjoyed reading about Stargirl. I think that Jerry Spinnelli has a good imagination and put a lot of effort into such a great book. The main storyline is about a girl who goes straight from a nobody to the most popular person in the school, in less than year! It tells the story of a lot of us, and I would recommend it to everyone-adults and children. It may not have an impact on your life, but it is still worth a try!

Stargirl is a good book for some people but I don't really like books like that. Because I im a an venture person and mestery person.but otherwise it was a good book. People that like to read it is a good book for you.

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.

I thought "Stargirl" was a very good book. I enjoyed reading this book because it was about a girl who was herself and people made fun of her because of it. She didn't care about what other people said about her. I wish I could be like her and not have a care in the world. This book was sometimes sad and sometimes happy. No matter what it made you want to know what was going to happen next. This was a very good book and I can't wait to read more of Jerry Spinelli's books.

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."
