its nice
this book is nice because it shows how the school changes after this girl named star girl comes and shows the school that she is bold!

well in my opinion i think it was pretty weird, the girl really freaked me out and i ended up not even reading the rest of the book cause it was just plain disturbing.

MUST READ
Loser is an excellent read for a variety of ages and maturity levels. The antagonist is male, which helps to catch those boys who don't want to read "girly" books. It is a coming of age story that really changed my perspective, even as an adult, on how I look at the world.

The book was to confusing. I hated it. The only reason I read was because the teacher made us.

Yo. This was a really good book, mmhm yes, yes. All you people are like 'Oh it's boring......Well, you know what I say to that? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. So just do whatever you want, I'm just tellin' you you're way wrong. Way, way wrong.

I think this book was amazing. I liked the story very much. It is easy for children to read. It teaches me a great lesson about the stargirl.
