I rate this book as a 3 because I have read way better books than this before. I don't hate the book I just fell that the author did not write the book very good. He wrote it like he was a 12 year old in high school witch is imposable. He needed to make their thoughts better than a he did. The high school kids were acting and thinking like 12 and 13 year olds when they sould of been acting a lot more mature. Plus the story is a little wild to be going on in high school. This is why I rate the book a 3.

Stargirl was a good book! I rated it as 3 because I thought it was a good book for middle-aged students. I also picked a three because some of the things in the book did not appeal to me! Although this wasn't my favorite book I really did enjoy it! The only reason why I didn't pick a 5 is because it wasn’t the best book I had ever read! I did enjoy this book though!

This book is very weird, but new in a way. It has the feelings done very good written on paper. I liked some of it sometimes like when he explained Leo's feelings to her slowly yet surly. This could be a good book to read to children and young teens mainly. This book tells about how people treat others if their different and I say they should just let them be who they want to be.

An okay book but not the best! I thought the ending could have been just a little bit better. Leo could have at least seen one silver lunch truck.(That was the only part I didn't like,) But it was something to read when was bored.

I didn't think this book was as amazing as it sounds. i liked the plot but everything else was nto so good it was very confusing.
