I probably did not like this novel so much because I am not a teenager but the writing style was brilliant!

stargirl is a sad book! i like it and it's ok!! but i don't like the ending! which Stargirl left Leo~ it is really sad! i think.

everyone turn on Stargirl because she is different! she helped other term in the game! so she became an outsider. this is really sad!! no one wanna to talk to her only Leo! then he turn on her~sad ...

well in my opinion i think it was pretty weird, the girl really freaked me out and i ended up not even reading the rest of the book cause it was just plain disturbing.

I hated the book. It was too confusing.

this book was ok but it was sort of boring toward the end because she did come to school and nobody cared which i thought personally was one of the most boring part in the whole story. i say this because its true and that stargirl is what u call unique and unordinary. well i say she is unordinary because she brings her ukelele and always sings happy birthday and she has her4 own little way of doing things. She doesn't care what other people think about her. this story teaches u a lesson that it doesn't matter what other people think of u its only what u think about your slf cause if u dont have a possitive attitude about yourself then it won't get u through life. so that was basially the moral and to tell u that it doesn't matter what anybody rhinks about u. u just need to stay the way u r and dont change for anybody just to please them or to change yourself just to make anybody talk to u or to be popular. being popular isn't the best thing in this world~~~~~

I liked the book StarGirl. It made me think of our school. Also, it didn't interest me in the he wrote the book. He made it sound almost just like our school. Just without STarGirl.

I think that stargirl was an okay book. I've read better and worse books than that though. I think that the book wasn't the best because it's not very realistic. for example...stargirl couldnt bring a rat or dance on the tables with out getting in trouble. i think that this book had a good moral and thats to be yourself but other than that is wasnt the best book.
