Stargirl was on okay book. I think this because the storyline wasn't all that beliveable and kind-of stupid. Some good things were the fact that Stargirl was different and that Leo wasn't a bad guy. Some of the bad things were that Stargirl did some pretty wierd stuff that no one would really do. Stargirl did have some funny parts in them like when Leo and Stargirl kissed, Amber McAllister and I liked that part.

The book Stagirl was an ok book. It does make you think about being yourself and being nice to people. I didn't like it because Stargirl (the main character) was kind of "out there" sometimes. I believe the author, Jerry Spinelli, made this book for a younger age. I believe it would appeal to kids in the 5th or 6th grade more than our grade. It shows imagination and somewhat crazy ideas.

I thought Stargirl was okay, but it could have been ALOT better. There was no action and it was all just drama. There was too much love and drama, and not enough action or comedy. I would not recommend this book to others.

We read the book stargirl. The book was o.k. It is about a girl that is very different and goes to a school called mica high school. It was sort of boring at times but it was kind of interesting at some times.

I thought "Stargirl" was OK! It wasn't really my kind of book! I probably wouldn't get it out of the library! I thought some of the things were funny that Stargirl did but it just isn't a book that I would really actually enjoy!

Star Girl was a very good book. I found it kind of boreing because i have already read it before .

I didn't like the book that much it was ok but it just didn't intrest me.I think it would be better for about a third grader to read. I gave the book a 2 in rating.

stargirl is a weird girl that no one knows what is her problem or anything about her.
