I think that Stargirl was an ok book. Some parts where good, but some parts were not that good. So I would give Stargirl a 3 on rating.

I think that almost anyone who reads Stargirl will enjoy it. There was a good story to it, and it was very well written. Jerry Spinelli is a brilliant writer, especially with this book. It deals with common problems in high schools, and makes a lot of sense. I never would have plucked it off of a shelf in a library, but I'm glad I read it.

Stargirl is an enchanting book placing you under her spell, like with Leo Borlock. Leos will love it, but Hillaris, well I can't say you shall love or like it with confidence in saying it. I even encourage younger kids to read Stargirl. I am 12 years old and in seventh grade, the year, 2004.

I think that the book star girl can teach us good lessons, for example; it teaches us that we should be kind to others whether they are kind to you or not.

The book Stargirl is very interesting. It tells of regular teen problems; popularity and peer presure. It is beautifully written, and tells a great story.

Stargirl was an okay book in the begening it was easy to follow but as the book progresed it became hard to understand. The middle was also slow. It took half way through the book for it to pick back up. The story takes place at mica highschool.

I think that the book Stargirl was a fairly decent book. It was a little bit interesting. The book kept me wondering what would happen next. I would reccomend you read this book if you like fictional books.
