It's a good book (although note the characters seem a lot more like 9th graders to me than 11th in their attitudes -- I teach both grades). The book is not written as well as some others at this level and by this author -- some plot devices and characters are a little thin -- but it is a great source for discussions of tolerance of differences, the importance of individuality, and the influence of peer pressure, among other topics. Possibly could be paired or compared with Millions (book and film) or possibly Pay it Forward (film), I note, which share some themes.

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.

Excellent story and message
Before I say anything else, this is a story every girl should read. Stargirl's spirit and unwavering ability to be herself is an inspiration. Now, with that said, I wasn't completely blown away by this novel. It has a great message, but there are better books out there concerning interest and quality of writing. Still, EVERYONE who has felt snubbed because of people call them "weird" needs to read this. They need Stargirl's story.

beautiful...
this is one of my favorite books of all time. it has sharp insight into the way teenagers are today, and into conformity. i think every teenager should read this book! there are so many things in it that make you think, and i would always wonder "why do they think shes weird?" or "why is it that a certain style is accepted by teens but if there is anything else they seem afraid of it?" a thought-provoking book. they are some sad parts that make you want to cry, but that honestly is the way teenagers are, and it would be good for them to learn a lesson like this.

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.

Any shallow person could never understand the true message of this book
The ending made me a little sad but I loved this book because it's everything I ever went by!
I have never gone by labels, or fashion, or put on one of those masks everyone wears these days and acted like the person I'm not.
This book is about that.
The power and will to "think outside the box". How society ditches those that are "different" and ends up hurting others.
Ever wondered why that "outcast" at school acts the way she/he does?
This is a perfect book for anyone who thinks they fit-in or fit-out.
I discovered this book and my opinions before I discovered it were already made. Why limit yourself to just wearing black or pink? Why put on a mask and trick people into thinking you're something else? This book showed me that I wasn't the only one who though that...
Oh, and by the way...
Jerry Spinelli rocks!
