Summary: A melodramtic book
Review: This book can be abridged to 100 pages. I really have to say I didn't like this book. At points I quite enjoyed it.. but I don't like the motives of the characters.

Summary: Super Book!
Review: Jerry Spinelli pleased me once again with this book. From the beginning you never know what the exciting unpredictable character of Stargirl will do next. This book was a little humorous yet it still was somewhat serious. The story was very well written. This is a book that some of us can relate to. Either we have done something "different" that others have been intimidated by or we have met someone that surprised us and we did not know what to think of them. This book is definately on my top 10 list.

Summary: Stargirl
Review: My review is on "Stargirl" by Jerry Spinelli. I'm not big on reading books, but Stargirl is something I would read. It is a very fun and interesting book. It's not too much toward young kids and it's not too much toward adults. It's more for kids going through adolescence. Stargirl can teach you things for later in life such as; you shouldn't change the way you are jus to be accepted. Personally, I wouldn't change myself for other people just to like me. I have my own way of things. That's what makes me an individual. Same as Stargirl. I don't think Stargirl should have changed her ways for other people. She's awesome just the way she is. Stargirl is an awesome book and I think that people who feel they should change themselves for other people should definitely read this book. It will teach you something.

Summary: Who are you? A Review on Stargirl
Review: When first starting the book, my initial thought was that this would be a story where Stargirl would stay and grow up to marry Leo, but the outcome was quite different. When Stargirl arrives in Mica, Arizona, people think she is a little odd. She plays her ukulele and wears exotic clothes. But gradually, her simple kindnesses are appreciated. Stargirl, the main character, is unque and very unorthodox. In the story, told by her boyfriend, Leo, she starts "a rebellion, not against something, but for humanity". She brings joy and caring and shows those around her to do the same. Everyone loves her, admires her and wants to be her friend. Jerry Spinelli, the author has a very unique voice. The story is gentle, touching and very unpredicatble. Just when you think something is going to happen, you are thrown by the outcome. The overall message , or moral, is to live a full life; take time to help others, be yourself, and believe in yourself. I think this is a great lesson. I would recommend this book strongly to those who are unsure of themselves because this novel encourages you to become more 'you'.

Summary: beautiful
Review: She was as strange as she was beautiful and as beautiful as she was mysterious. That was StarGirl, the newcomer to Mica High. Everyone was fascinated with her. The hallways were filled with talks of StarGirl. From the moment she arrived StarGirl captured Leo Borlock's heart with one smile. Everyone loved her. But then, she was rejected for everything that made her StarGirl, everything that made her different. Her boyfriend, Leo, begs her to be the one thing that can make everyone love her again; normal. But that isn't who StarGirl is. One woders whose affection does he value more; hers or the others? He loves Stargirl. This is the tale of acceptation, love and wonder. It is Sweet and timeless. After all, you only have one soul mate and if anything, Stargirl is Leo's.

Summary: A book all teenagers should read
Review: I am not a young person or even a teenager but I was truly moved by this book. No matter who you are or what experiences you've had in your life, there has to be something in this book you can relate to and learn from. Of all the books by Jerry Spinelli that I've read, this is by far his best work. Stargirl is a fascinating character. Not only is she completely unaffected by what other people think of her, she is totally unafraid to be herself, and seems to hurt worse when people attempt to change who she is. As much as I liked Stargirl, the character I could really relate to is Leo, the narrator of the story who watches Stargirl from a distance with an unlikely fascination. His world is turned upside down when he becomes her friend and realizes Stargirl has a crush on him. I highly recommend this book, please do yourself a favor and read it!

Summary: A fun filled novel!
Review: Jerry Spinelli has always written awesome books, but this book topped them all. When a new girl moves into town everyone loves her. She makes everyone feel like they are a part of something and she is never against anyone, but one day that loving and outgoing personality turns everyone against her. Everyone except Leo. This book made me think about not only what was happening to the characters in the book, but also how they related to me. The author does a fantastic job of making me want to read on. He ended lots of his chapters with unanswered questions or detailed plots. He also did a wonderful job of explaining each character in detail. Feeling like you know the characters always makes reading the novel more enjoyable. I would recomend this book to anyone who loves detailed, fun, positive books with a plot different from most others.

Summary: A Different and Unique Girl
Review: Stargirl a girl that came from home schooler to High schooler at Mica High school. She wasn't trying to fit in, and she wasn't into fashion either. She dress herself with skirt down to her feet, her eyes where big and her hair was sandy. She was sweet and kind, but she shouldn't stick up like that because her friends hammered her down. The only friend that she had at that time was Leo Borlock. The guy that felt in love with her, althought she was a totally different girl from the High School Girls, he felt in love with her. I recommed you this book, because the author Jerry Spinelli has write great books for kid and teenagers. He has a lot of stories that came from his experients with his wife and with his 7 Childrens. Jerry dedicates Stargirl to his Wife and childrens.

Summary: A Lesson To Learn
Review: Jerry Spinelli really struck gold with this one. It really explains about the life of this man and his experience with Stargirl. I think we all need a little Stargirl. This book really teaches a lesson about life and 'what would you do' situations. I loved it so much that I have read it tons of times. If anyone wants a feel good book about human interaction, you have to buy this book. I loved It!
