I thought that Stargirl is a good book. In some parts of the story, I just wanted to cry. What I want to know is why she left and never came back. Over all this is a very good book. it was very interesting to me to read. This is definatly an attintion graber. I would definitely recomend this book to anybody I know!

I thought the book stargirl was a very good. However I thank that Jerry Spinelli could have added more details. I wish that he hadn't ended the book the way he did and had told if she ever returned. I do thank that this gives him an opporenity and he should take the ending and write another book to contuine on where he left off.

I think the book stargirl was an ok book. it was not all that great because Stargirl was too fiction. they should have had it more real. I would still recommend it to people if they are really into fiction.

Stargirl wasn`t all that bad, it was kind of weird. After all stargirl disappeared.

I think that Stargirl was a very good book. The reason why is it had alot of things related to stuff that goes on at schools everywhere. Because if someone came to our school and acted and dressed the way she did we would probably stick our nose up at her like Hillari Kimble did. This book had a little love thing going on in it between the weird girl of the school and the cute but quiet guy of the school.But the ending of the book was very sad. My favorite part of the book was when they kissed. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Stargirl was what you would call UNIQUE. I thought that this book was good though. It showed us what it was like in a life of a person that was "different". I think it also showed us how cruel people can be because they dont look like them. I think that it teaches you a lot about how its okay to be different and pretty much it reminded me of the "Golden Rule", you know that you should treat others that way you would want to be treated. This book has a lot of meaning but i only rated it 4 because it was kind of depressing!!! I would recommend this book though because it gives us a different perspective on life.

I think that stargirl was a good book. I think this because, I liked the moral's. One, of them was don't judge people by what they look like. Also, don't stop being nice to some one just because they're different, than other people. I think that this novel will inspire people to be nice to others even if they are different. I also think that it tells that everybody is different in their own way.

I thought that "Stargirl" deserved a 4 is because this book encourages all of us to appreciate our individuality. I don't think it deserves a 5 because I got really stressed out over where Stargirl had gone and if she and Leo ever saw each other again. But I think they would, you know, 'cause of the porcupine tie thing. . . .
