I really like this book because it was based on a real person. Like when Stargirl did nice things for people she didn't even know, Iknow a couple of people like that. It also had a valuable lesson that you don't miss something until it's gone. That's why I like this book.


Sincerely,
Tyler Vandekerkhove

I think that Stargirl is a good book no a great book becouse it could teach people some lessons about being popular. Like being popular is a bad thing becouse if one day you walk into school and you do somthing thats imbaressing then people could start to make fun of you and not think your cool anymore. Thats why I like this book it teaches you things and i defenitly have learned a lesson.

I thought this book was a very good book. I kind of learnd a lesson from the book. It tought me that don't judge someone by their apearance. It is one of the best books I have ever read.I think if anayone read this book, I hoped they enjoyed it as much as me.

I thought this was a very good book and it had a good story line. The only thing that was sad is where Stargirl thought she would be famous but she was wrong because she wasn't famous. The only kid who showed up was dori dilson and a couple of teachers. I apperciate Jerry Spinelli for writing this book.

I thought this book was a great story. It had it's strange points like stargirl danceing in the rain. Other wise it was cool because of a few funny parts such as cinimen crawling on leo. I would recamend this book to any one!

When I read Star Girl I thought it was very boring in the beginning but as the book got in the middle it was very interesting and mysterious that is what I like the book star girl Star Girl is very sweet she does not think of her self she thinks of other people she goes to funerals stuff like that. That is why I like her. When Star Girl first came to mica junior high everyone thought she was not normal they did not talk to her. The only thing they did was look at her they kept saying who is this where did she come from who is she what is she. The reason they said that was because she wore weird cloths, and the way she wore her hair they did not know what to think they thought she was under cover for the school things like that. But later on she became the center of action every one loved her everyone wonted to be her. She even became a cheerleader and one day they lost a basketball game and blamed her for it and she lost her popularity and every one hated her. My favorite part is the end when stargirl sends Leo a nick tie when he has not seen him in along time that was very sad that is why I love this book.

I think that the book ''Stargirl'' was very good. It wasnt the best book i have ever read but it was different and i like that. It was a good story to read if you arent sure if you should hang around someone because you dont want to lose your popularity. I rated this book 4 because of the details and the climax of the story! Spinelli is very smart and creative for making such a fantastic and very interesting book. I might buy the book Stargirl one day so i can have one of my own!

I thought that it was an okay book. This was not one of the best books that I've read but I am going to say that I liked it. It was very interesed to me and, it was an interesting book. Stargirl can act good in a book. Stargirl does do stupid stuff sometimes. Any one that wants to know anything about it should read it for themself.
