I thought this was one the most rememerable book I ever read. It involves somewhat of an adventure mixed with romance.
Emily (09/30/02)

Oh My God! I loooved this book! It was so awesome. Everything he wrote about I felt as I read it. It was so real to life. It dealt with all the peer pressure and stuff to be like everyone else and how people who choose to be different are sometimes put down and ignored for it. I loved every single page and everytime I read it I get sucked into it and can't put it down.
I think Jerry Spinelli did an EXCELLENT job writing this book to say the least.. It was so... enchanting and I think that if everyone in our world was like Stargirl Caraway it would be a MUCH happier place..
I loved Stargirl and I recommend it to anyone who loves enchanting tales about love, adventure and how hard it can be to live in our society. Its a deeefinite must-read!~
