I think that the book Stargirl from Jerry Spenelli was a really good book. I think its great that we still have good writers. In the book it proves that popularity isn't everything.

This was a very good book. I found it quite interesting. I think it goes more for the girls though. I thought that it was very funny. I love to read so I was always wanting to read more. I also have a copy at home. It was a very good book from my point of view. I would recommend it for anyone.

I really like the book Stargirl. When I started reading it, it told me that it is ok to be yourself if you want to be yourself. Also it told me that sometimes if you try to be like others you just might get your feelings hurt just like stargirl did. I found this book in my Language Arts class.

I think that stargirl was an o.k. book but it wasn't great. The thing I liked best about it was the humor stargirl brought with her when she came to Mica High School. I think the book was fairly interesting and kept my attention but it was very pridictable. Overall I think the book was o.k. so I give it a 4.

Stargirl was an interesting book. It was a little slow in the beginning, but the pace quickly increased. Jerry Spinelli's books, excluidng Wringer all have been a thrill to read.


I really enjoyed reading the novel Stargirl. Once I started reading it I couldn't wait until I finished. I liked Stargirl because she did not have an ego, which unlike many of us controlls us. Even though somethings did not work out for her she continued to do good deeds for people who did not like her. Many people did not understand her because of the way she acted, different. I think all schools should have every student to strive to be different. I've have never met anyone like Stargirl, it seems she would be impossible to be like because many high schoolers go to school, have a job, and do extra curicular activities. Even though Stargirl acted like a non-real person it was interesting to read about the life of someone that caring. Jerry Spinelli used wonderful choices of words that make you feel like you were at Mica with Stargirl and Leo. That is why I really enjoyed the book Stargirl and I rated it at a four.
