Summary: Read, you must!
Review: I absolutely loved this book. It had a great message. I was reading it for a school book report. We had to write our own review too!
This book has excitement, racism, a ghost story, and even a luau! The main character is Frannie Driscoll. She is 13 (like me!) She has three best friends. Kelly, who loves horses, Margot, who thinks she's French, and Nancy, who acts like a mom. Frannie meets a new friend Celeste , who is black. Other people look down upon her. Frannie looks up upon her. Frannie sets a good example for the rest of her friends.
That's what I love about this book. Frannie shows tolerance and shows that it doesn't hurt to have a black friend. In this book there are mean examples of racism and since it's set in the 60's, no one thinks it's wrong. Well I think you'll enjoy this book. I know I did.
Oh, by the way, the starplace is an old rocket ship slide that was apart of a playground that was taken down for haunted purposes.
Thanks for reading my review!

Summary: So Refreshing
Review: I picked up this book that were layed on a counter in the office after I had won King Labs student of the week award. I picked it up because reading books about friendship are so interesting to me. But I didn't think that the book was going to be that great. But by the time I finished reading it I fell in love with this book. I guess its because I love the two main characters.I mean living in a time period where there are so many issues between the different races of people in america is hard on a friendship where they are not of the same race. But the two girls don't let that stop them from becoming the best of friends.There are no flaws.The end of the book kind of suprised me but later It made more sense. Read this book because I know that you'll love it as much as I do and many of the other people who have read it.

Summary: A Friendship Review
Review: The book, The Starplace is an awesome book that explains the friendship between a black girl and a white girl. A girl named Celeste moves to Quiver, Oklahoma. Frannie is a white girl who has a lot of friends where she lives. We can learn a lot from the friendship of Celeste and Frannie. We can learn that it doesn't matter if you're blue, green, yellow, pink, or even striped to have a friend. Celeste and Frannie had a powerful friendship, but the people of the town really wanted them to not be friends. They stood by each other every inch of the way. I really love this book because I can relate to this book. I can because I have a black friend, I even have black friends.

Summary: The Starplace
Review: The Starplace by Vicki Grove is a good book. It is about thirteen-year-old Frannie Driscoll, who lives in Quiver, Oklahoma, in 1961. When a black girl named Celeste Chisholm comes to Frannie's school, everyone is shocked. Celeste is the first black person at the school. All the black kids go to a separate black school. At first, Frannie, like everyone else, ignores Celeste. But she finds herself becoming friends with Celeste, especially after they are chosen to be in the "Ladies of Harmony", a double trio from their chorus class that will perform in public. But will Frannie ignore everyone else's thoughts about Celeste and remain friends with her?

Summary: Read, you must!
Review: The Starplace is an absolutely awesome book. It teaches the values and importance of people of other countries, nations, and colors. Not only is it set for reading of any ages, it is interesting to the older audience as well. I think Vicki Grove did a tremendous job on this book.

Frannie is an average white girl entering the 8th grade school year. She has friends and family that all care about her, and her life is running smoothly, until the day she sees young Celeste in a black car. Celeste is like no other in the city, she is African-American. At first, Frannie ignores Celeste in school, and doesn't care about her, but it's impossible to ignore her forever, in chorus she is the best singer around. They quickyl socialize a bit and become fast friends. The name "The Star Place" came from the place Frannie and Celeste practice every night, it soon becomes a second home, and a second life to the culture of the city Quiver.

This book is awesome and is a must read for people of all skin colors. There really isnt a special age you have to be to read this book. I first read it in 3rd grade, and have re-read it over the years. This book definetly deserves all the credit it gets.
