Great story about different being good
Stargirl is a sweet story about a teenage girl who chooses to do things that make her and other people happy, whether they are conventional or not. She is a great role model for girls or anyone and lends courage to do the right things that will make you and others happy. I love the message about accepting others and the show of a bit of regret when you are not accepting. Would recommend for 5th graders and up.

The best book I have ever read
I love stargirl. I find both of the main characters role models especially stargirl because she is always doing something different and making it known that being different is good. Every one is different from eachother and that is good but the kids in meca high dont understand that so I think that the should learn to be different.

i love this book because of it's message that it's ok to be different and not to judge someone by the way they look! THis book is about a girl that move to a new sdchool and is the center of a attention in everything she does, when a boy notices her but hes to scared to talk to her cause everyone dislikes her.

Waaaaaaaa?
Kinda Iffy. Fortunately, most of it is in innuendos. A bunch of hormonic, lovesick, peer-presure relenting teenage pervs. ggaaaaauuuuugh.

Never let anyone change you!!
I lovedd thuis book becuse, when or lose Stargirl was never afraid to be different. Even if she had terrible rumors going around the school about her, she'd never pay them the time of day. This is a lesson for all teens my age. Never let anyone change the way you are, when you decide to change that should be your decision not anyone elses.

blown away
it's probably one of three books i've ever read where i felt like this (for the record the other two were i am the cheese by robert cormier and fahrenheit 451) im in shock literally at first i really really really didn't like it didn't like leo, didn't like stargirl, didn't like the story then i dunno the book just... closed a fist around my heart and squeezed no grabbed a corner of my heart and tugged yes that's a better description it was... awful, in a way amazing it hurt.... i hurt... i hurt for stargirl and i hurt for leo and i hurt for normality..... and for nonconformity.... and for everyone in the world who suffers, not hunger or cold but loneliness, and i hurt for the people who make them suffer because they're so stunted, so blind... and i just saw things, and it was.... i dunno. i can't really decribe it. i'm completely blown away.

Stargirl
Oh, it was ok, but I liked the second book better, even though it ruins the mysteriousness of Stargirl. It's sad that Leo wasn't in it....

I've Never Read Anything Like It!
At first, when I got this book, I didn't have any interest whatsoever in reading it. But when I started, I just couldn't put it down. The story evolves around a and a girl named Stargirl, who is new to the school. She is nothing alike others. I'll remember this book for a long time.

A very Interesting Book
Stargirl is a fairly good book. It will interest you but doesn't get you very hooked. It's very cleverly written and makes you stop and think about what you're reading. A must read.

must read, GREAT!!
It was a great book with different meanings to different people. All my friends in my book club adored this book and they couldn't put it down! A must read for anybody, it shows you that everybody goes through a stage of not knowing who they are.

stargirl review
I thought Stargirl was good because it is about caring for others and friendship. It wasn't really the best book but it kind of sucks you in. I would recomend this book to anyone that likes books about things that could happen. It is apropiot for kids 10 or older. I thought it was good but don't take my word for it, go read it for yourself.

A story that will leave you crying in your bed -- a review by Chris, age 11
“Stargirl†is a book about the struggle between Leo and his school life. Leo returns to his school this time for 11th grade. He is puzzled by whole bunches of rumors, the most interesting about a new 11th grader, Stargirl. Leo desperately wants to get a closer look. His wants are easily answered in the cafeteria, where Stargirl’s true personality is unfurled, but people still want to know more. Leo, wanting to get an interview. takes off on a quest that will change him forever and, with the help of his out-of-school mentor, teach him a lesson.
Stargirl is a masterfully woven story tale about Leo. This story is so beautifully descriptive and mind capturing that it will leave you crying in your bed. I have read quite a few books in my literary club experience and this has been chosen in my mind as my favorite book of all time. This was a realistic fiction based on Spenelli’s own life. He says in his interview that it was actually a story about him and the woman who is now his wife. This book is great for kids of ages 10+ and I found almost nothing that was inappropriate for kids my age. It is a classic story with lessons, twists, turns, and a cactus named El Senor. With all of these elements Spenelli creates a book that will dazzle you to your very soul. -

Spinelli's best!
I've read tons of Jerry Spinelli books like Crash, Maniac Magee, Who Put That Hair in my Toothbrush, and the Library Card. But Stargirl was definatley the BEST! I think it's a must read for kids who just want to spend their life blending in with and following the crowd. Stargirl (Susan Caraway) is a role model for everyone. She can be a little kooky, but she's a very nice person who cares about everyone. The ending is upsetting, especially for Leo. READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!
