I really enjoyed reading the book Stargirl. It was very interesting because it shows that you don't have to care what people think of you. Also I think it was very funny at times because of some of the things she does like play the ukuele at people when it was there birthdays. At the beginning I thought the book was going to be horrible but after a few chapters I really started getting into it. Also and someday I would really like to read this book again just not soon!!

I really enjoyed reading Stargirl for many reasons. First of all, it was different from most other books I've read because it didn't contain excessive amounts of violence, sadism, etc. Second, characters were excellently portrayed. They were very realistic, like people you could find in your own school. Third, there was a lot of logic to the things said by characters, especially Stargirl and Archie. Last of all, the book teaches you a lot about being different and individualism, also acceptance. I think this is a very good book and I recommend it to anyone.

Love much,
Vic.

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 loved the book Stargirl. It was a very interesting book to read. I like it because it teaches people to accept other people by not the way they look and/or act. Again it was a very interesting book and I encourage anyone who questions it to read it!
