I loved Stargirl. It was the best book I have ever read! Mr. Spinelli made the book come to life for me, and now I'm wondering if I will ever meet a starperson. I have recommended this book to all of my friends several times, and they believe that I obsess over it because I enjoy it so much!

This book is awesome. I'm even turning it into a speech for speech competitions!


this book was GREAT! it helped me accept other people, and become a "stargirl" myself. i am no longer following the crowd, but found the "stargirl" in me, and now following that feeling. I would totally recommend this to those searching for their true self, or for people who just needs a laugh! =D GREAT BOOK!

It is my favourite book of all time! It really helped me grasp the understanding of life and made me feel as if i can do alot more. I also learned that i shouldnt care what other people think. I love this book.

I personally thought this was an EXCELLENT book! its really easy for a teenage girl to relate to. It also evokes a desire to do good and be independent. I recommend it for ALL ages, although it is quite an easy read.

A great book for middle and high school students. This book includes a lot of important issues facing middle and high school students; acceptance by peers, differences, self esteem, and being teased, and peer pressure. This book could creat a lot of discussion among students, and would be great for literature circles.
