It was an OK book. I've read better books before. This was not Jerry Spinelli's best book, but it was still nice to read.

great book

I am 10 years old and this was one of my favorite books! It showed how many different ways kids want to fit in. My parents just went thorugh a divorce and this book seemed to calm my nerves. I love this book because it wanted to make me keep reading. Unfortunatly, there is not a Stargirl 2 book. Jerry Spinelli, you are one of the greatest authors of all time. Thank you.

I loved it, it's a great story of the importance of individuality, as well as the pressures to conform to the 'norm' of students.
