Starlgirl is a very good book. It tought me some lessons about judging people on what's on the inside and not what's on the out side. It also tought me a lesson about how people have hard live's at school. This book really inspired me on being strong and not getting knocked out when somebody makes fun of you.

Stargirl was a great book! I don't read anything it has to be really good for me to like it. This book was spectacular. If someone asked me what I liked about Stargirl I would probably say the way she acted around people and the way she dressed. She never meet a stranger because she talk to every one. I liked Stargirl mostly because of her unique ways. If I was asked to read this book again I would because I liked this book alot. I got to go but you read this book and see what you think. Then, write a review to tell others how good this book was.

Stargirl was a good book. I enjoyed reading this book with my class. The reason I enjopyed this book is becasue the book is discribing how kids to day would act and respond to her well being. This book was expceptionally good and I really liked it a lot. The plot linewas great, majority of the characters where good but.... I really didnt like the way Hillary Kimble was treating her. Stargirls parents could have benn more up to date but that was ok. Well I would love to write more but i cant think of anything more interesting. Well g2g. Bye.

I thought this book was a great story. It had it's strange points like stargirl danceing in the rain. Other wise it was cool because of a few funny parts such as cinimen crawling on leo. I would recamend this book to any one!

When I read Star Girl I thought it was very boring in the beginning but as the book got in the middle it was very interesting and mysterious that is what I like the book star girl Star Girl is very sweet she does not think of her self she thinks of other people she goes to funerals stuff like that. That is why I like her. When Star Girl first came to mica junior high everyone thought she was not normal they did not talk to her. The only thing they did was look at her they kept saying who is this where did she come from who is she what is she. The reason they said that was because she wore weird cloths, and the way she wore her hair they did not know what to think they thought she was under cover for the school things like that. But later on she became the center of action every one loved her everyone wonted to be her. She even became a cheerleader and one day they lost a basketball game and blamed her for it and she lost her popularity and every one hated her. My favorite part is the end when stargirl sends Leo a nick tie when he has not seen him in along time that was very sad that is why I love this book.

Stargirl was a very good book and I hope other people would read it to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah I think the book could be more specific about the other characters instead of just Leo and stargirl. And the book had a very good ending

I think that the book ''Stargirl'' was very good. It wasnt the best book i have ever read but it was different and i like that. It was a good story to read if you arent sure if you should hang around someone because you dont want to lose your popularity. I rated this book 4 because of the details and the climax of the story! Spinelli is very smart and creative for making such a fantastic and very interesting book. I might buy the book Stargirl one day so i can have one of my own!
