Stargirl

Summary: stargirl
Review: Stargirl is a "different" type of book. Jerry Spinelli wrote this book to make it so that stargirl, as she calls herself, seems to be a different person, but in a unique way. She comes to Mica High where she grasps everyone's attention by being a "cool" girl. She caught Leo Borlock's eye with just one smile. He and everyone else in the crowd really liked her, everything about her. At the beginning. Then everyone's opinion was changed when a few incidents occurred. Leo didn't know what to do, go with the crowd or go with his crush. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys really good books. From when you pick up the book and look at the cover until when you finish the book you will enjoy. I think Spinelli wrote the book because she wants to tell people it is okay to be different. People will think it is "cool" to be different. So be the person that you are inside and don't change your self for anyone!

Review: Jerry Spenelli is at it again in the book Stargirl. From the day she arrives at quiet Mica High in a burst of spirit and color, the hallways silent approch of her. She captures Leo Borlock's heart in just one whole period, lunch. She sparkeled with school-spirit with just one cheer. The students of Mica High are amazed. Well at first. Then things start to go down, rommers and you know teenage things. My favorite line as Spinelli decribed her was "She was exulise. She was today. She was tomarrow. She was the faintest sent of cactus flower, the flitting shadow of an elf owl. We didn't know what to make of her. In our mindswe tried to pin her to the corkboard like a butterfly, but the pin merely went through and away she flew,"

Summary: Girl who has taught alot
Review: Stargirl at first was veiwed as an outcast that no one wanted to get to know. She had been home schooled before, and no one knew what to think. People became mor friendly tward her and started to accept her. That was until she joined the cheerleading squard and would cheer for the other team. She got unpopular near the middle of the year and her only friend was a kid named Leo Borlock, her boyfriend. She would go to enchanted places and helped others. THere is a huge lesson to be learned from this book. I would recommend this to anyone of any age. It teaches you to have self:confidence to do and wear what you want and what you feel is you. I love when Spinelli decribed her as "She was exlusive. She was today. She was tommarow. She was the faintest sent of cactus flower, the flitting shadow of an elf owl. We did not know what to maker of her. In our minds we tried to pin her to the corkboard like a butterfly, but the pin merely went through and away she flew," She was amazing and tought a lot to many people.

Summary: Very Original
Review: I recieved this book from a friend for my birthday,I was reading a book then but when I got around to reading it I found it an excellent story and suggest it to everyone.I was really inspired by Stargirls lack of caring about what anyone thought of her.But ofcourse my being a typical person and not a GOOD person I couldn't change myself at all!Back to basics,I hope you read it and may I take the time to suggest Harry Potter?

Summary: Great Book
Review: Stargirl was one of the best books I ever read!! When Stargirl walks though the doors of Mica High School, she's the only thing people talk about the whole day, with her canavs bag, uklulele, and her mouse. No body wants to be her friend because she was different, untill she started cheerleading, then everybody was her friend. When she started showing as much energy cheering for the other team. Everybody hated her... except Leo, he had fallen madly in love with her. But Leo is forsed to make a choice, Stargirl or Popularty. I recommened this book to anyone who wants to read a good book.

Summary: Stargirl By Jerry Spinelli
Review: Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli is an excellent novel.  Once I picked up the novel,
Stargirl, I had trouble putting it down.  Between the romance and confusion
almost any middle school girl is apt to enjoy this novel.  The student
population at Mica High School isn't divers at all.  When Stargirl starts
attending Mica she stands out because she is 'different'.  Stargirl is then asked to become a cheerleader.  Stargirl is 'shunned' by the student body because she cheers for Mica and the opposing team.  While all of this is happening Leo finds himself confused, should he confess his growing love for Stargirl or go with the majority.  Leo makes a wise choice and they begin dating.  Leo finds some interesting things about Stargirl.  After some time Leo finds that they are gradually fading apart and is having a hard time excepting it.

Summary: A girl at her best.
Review: Star Girl, written by Jerry Spinelli, is a wonderful fiction novel. It is a story about a girl in Arizona who has just come from home schooling to the town's high school. Her name is Stargirl and she has a lot of interesting qualities about her. She wears different clothing then most girls and acts completely different also. She even has a pet rat named Cinnamin. One day in school a boy catches her eye. Even though she is so different there is something about her that he can't stop thinking about. At first she is lonely, then she joins the cheerleading squad and suddenly she was one of the most popular girls in school. Then she does something that makes the cheerleaders turn their backs on her and then she is unpopular again. This boy keeps on seeing and likes her a lot. They finally make it public that they like each other and then before you know it, everyone is interested on how their relationship will work. The ending in this book is amazing. So read the book to find out what happens to Stargirl and her pet rat, Cinnamin.

Critical Review of Stargirl
The title of this book called Stargirl . Jerry Spinelli is the author. This typed of book is a fiction story. The category that it falls in is a story/drama. The book is in first person.
The book Stargirl has two charters named Leo and Stargirl. Stargirl was new at her school. She was different compare to every other girl there. When she walked by at school people would stop talking and turn their eyes to her. People wanted to be her friend but they were to shy to talk to her. People were funny when she was around but why??
The book strength was the beginning of the book. It was a narrative- hook and you wanted to read more about it. You wanted to know more about Stargirl.
The weakness of this book was the ending. Some people might like it but I thought it was a slow ending.
Jerry Spinelli is a good author. I like her way of telling the story. She uses a lot of details.
I would recommend Stargirl to people that like to read romance books. Stargirl was not one of my favorites books because it was romantic!
