I hated reading and could never get into a book. Most of the time I fell asleep within the first 5 pages, until Stargirl was recommended by my school librarian. It usually takes me forever to read but once I started reading Stargirl I couldn't put it down! I read the whole book in 2 days. It was excellent, I loved it! The end made me cry, thats how much I got into the story. I hope Jerry Spenelli makes a Stargirl 2 or some kind of sequel to it! If there is one, let me know... Anyways this is a really touching story and I would recommend it to anyone, espically if you have any of the problems I have.

I loved Stargirl! I recommended it to all my friends, and they all loved it to! I felt as if the author wasn't just telling you a story, but some tips on life and on the binding chains of popularity. I love this book. every one should read it!

I really like this book. It was a real patterned. It had all the unseen aspects of adolescence that catch your eye and make you want more. I would thoroughly recommend it.
