What readers think of Stargirl, plus links to write your own review.

Hello. I am a 19 year old college student attending Rutgers University. I've read Stargirl several times and each time it's a phenomenal read. Jerry Spinelli has created a character named, Stargirl, who is not the typical teenager in America. She is original, caring and a bit extravagant. Then there is this boy Leo who sees Stargirl for more than what's outside. I suggest Stargirl to any person who is looking for a great book to sit down and relax with. The book also has a great message in it about friendships. That in this world friends will come and go and it will hurt, but when you find true friends, the ones who will always be by your side, it is then that you will feel alive inside. Stargirl is a great book and I suggest it to any and all reading ages.

Extraordinary book! It really suprised me and I hope that anyone who hasn't read it, will!!
Muah! XOXO

I think that Stargirl is an awsome book. It could teach a lot of people some lessons and tells you how people feel if they are like Stargirl. This book is very entertaining and is one of the best books I have ever read before.

i think that star girl was a wonderful book, I will amit it was a bit strange but what's a book without any fun in it? In no way do i think this book was bland, boring etc. i think that the author did very well in writing it. i am also doing class activities on it.

This book was so I dont know but it was GRRRREAT!!! I absolutly loved it!

I thought this book was amazing and it was one of my favorite all-time books. I really like how he made a story about a girl who is very different from everyone else. But still she did her thing and I think Leo missed his chance and it's sad he'll never see her again. Anyone who reads this book will love it. You can just relate to it when sometimes people are not being very nice because you wear something different or act a certain way, but everyone should be themselves and be proud of what they believe in.

I loved this book because just by looking at the cover, I knew that it was dirrerent. I loved it because I felt like I was there. I'd be more than happy to meet the character in real life if she existed.The discription Jerry Spinelli created is so magical and I loved the theme about deserts! I think Leo Borlock was really foolish to miss his chance. He avoided her just because he's putting his popularity at risk. He should have not let the shunning get to him and should have accepted her as she is. I wish there were more books like this for all young adults. I've learnt to be myself and not to change yourself for popularity, it's not worth it. The end was really emoitional, and I was hoping that he would see her again. This is the best book ever written and now that I have read it I miss the character 'Stargirl'.

Hello! I am a 17 year old high school senior. I am not much of a reader and this book was assigned to us in our literature class. After reading this book, I was inspired to read some more books! It touched my heart in a very special way and I wished I could be someone like Stargirl. I recommend this books to young adults like me mainly because of the lessons that can be learned about popularity, nonconformity and true friendship. This book is very easy to read and "un-put downable". I can't find enough words to describe the experience of reading Stargirl. For the people who think that Stargirl was very unrealistic, well that's the main point of the book. It somehow challenges the idea of being "cool", "popular", "cheerleader" and other stereotypical titles. It was too radical for us (young adults) to be able to think outside the box. Stargirl can be a role model to everyone who sometimes feel a little bit different from the others. Stargirl can also be an "eye-opener" to people like Leo Borlock. If there are more Stargirls in this world, it would be a better place to live in. :)
