Summary: Burn it in a holy bonfire!
Review: This is honestly the worst book I've ever read in my entire life and I can't even begin to describe how discusted I feel when I see all these 5-Star ratings for StarDope. IT'S A MIRACLE! Todays authors have finally realized that they can make thousands on a book that took them less than five minutes to write! The world is being starved of adequite literature... it appaules me. I think I'm going to ralph... Anyway, may I suggest a quality novel such as Call of the Wild or Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry? I love Harry Potter, too! ( I know a lot of peeps hate HP, but I think that the characters are far from fictional, the vividness of the discription is remarkable, and the amazingly unique story is truly inspiring.) Try a better book than StarDope ( anything will do. Even reading the fine print on JCPenny's coupons is a higher quality read.) Just don't praise StarDope. I BEG OF YOU! Thank you for your time. Good Day.

Summary: Read Something Else
Review: Stragirl is a poorly written, weak novel with an extremly thin and single-dimensional story line. I left the book feeling and knowing the same things as when I picked up the book. Personally I think that Stargirl is a waste of time, and I truly expected more from an author like Jerry Spinelli.

Summary: something went wrong in this book
Review: In this book, Jerry didn't capture the mind or lifestyle of a teenager at all. a perfect, sweet girl that changes her self image for a boy isn't believeabe, and dissapionts the reader that this "miricle girl" would let go of her pride to become one of the crowd. the wrting is also [not good] and lacks life's emotion and cripples the reader to allow themselves to identify themselves with the whole plot.

Summary: Simply complex
Review: A darling novel of a free spirit cart-wheeling through life; no boundaries. You will never witness a love so complete. Star girl tickles your toes with silver fingertips and brings out the kindness and quirks in your heart. Unpredictable and full of life, Star girl has five stars of her very own.

Summary: Is it really good to be just like everyone else?
Review: A new girl in a completley normal high school, Stargirl wears white cotton dresses and plays the ukulele at lunch. She has a pet rat, Cinnamon, and puts a table cloth and a vase of flowers on her desk. She doesn't care what anyone thinks and just wants to make people happy.
And she does, at first. The normal students are soon strumming their own ukuleles and wearing prarie girl dresses. It's a fad to be different.
But soon they turn against her. Maybe it was the cheering for the other team in basketball. Maybe it was the ukulele Happy Birthday songs at lunch. Whatever it was, all the students hate her. They vandalise her things and call her names. They throw things at her. Meanwhile she falls in love with the plain boring boy, Leo. At first Leo is embarrassed. He wants her to be normal, so he can love her too and not be humiliated. But Stargirl has her own agenda. She is different, and it would ruin her to be just like everyone else.Stargirl is a wonderful book about induviduality and change, feelings and love.

Summary: Good
Review: Let me think... what is the best way to describe this book. Unlike most other teen books which outright tell readers to be themselves and to not conform, Stargirl did this exact same thing in a much more creative way. The book was odd, but at the same time, very good. I'm basically just thankful that my school is nothing like the school in this story. It was amazing to read about such conformists. Every single person attending that school seemed to be the exact same, except Stargirl. It was sad and happy at the same time when everyone started to dislike her. Sad because, well, because they all hated her. And happy because, even though everyone hated and ignored her, Stargirl didn't care, and it seemed to amaze the other students. And is was awesome the way Stargirl was so nice to everyone, even if they were cruel to her. Anyway, this is a very good book and I'd reccomend it to everyone who enjoys a good teen book.

Summary: A Girl Who is Different
Review: Stargirl is a girl who is different from everybody else. She does not try to fit in, she is happy being herself.She has been homeschooled up until now. Some of the unusual things about her are her pet mouse, cinammon, and her ukulele which she plays during lunch,. This book shows the hardships of peer pressure in high school.
Rating: 
Summary: Not that great
Review: Being a teenage reader I think this book is boring and has no real exitement. Stargirl is a new girl in Leo's school who had always been homeschooled and almost everyone including him is caught in her magical ways. Leo becomes entranced by her and her pet rat. But then she is shunned by everyone and since Loe is her boyfriend, he is given the silent treatment as well. Then Stargirl tries to become normal and fit in but it's too late for that. It is a sweet book but too boring for most people like me.

Summary: Stargirls Review
Review: The book, Stargirl, is mainly about a sophomore, Stargirl, goes from being home schooled to a Public School, Mica High. She is very different and has her own ways, but she enters a school that,is, well the same. The people all, who have their different personalities but if you, put them all together they are the same. So Stargirl comes along and everyone, at first loves her. But, then, something happens. Now, I'm not going to give away what happens, you'll have to read the story to find that out. After the "thing" happens everyone at school hates her. So no one talks to her. The narrator of this story is a young boy, names John, who starts to like her and goes out with her. He finds out what its like to be Stargirl and in the end, has to make a choice. Between them, and Stargirl. That is why I like this story so much. It shows us that you should be who you are and to not let other people tell you. It has so many emotions that you wouldn't believe it. It has Sadness, happiness, romance, a little bit of comedy, and of course Strangeness. What story about a strange girl would there be without any strangeness at all? I suggest you read this book when you have the time. Because once you pick it up, you can't put it down!

Summary: Stargirl review by Chantelle Cordery
Review: I thought this book was very interesting. It shows that you should always be yourself no matter what. People should like you for who you are and not for who they think you should be. This book kept making me want to read on and I didn't want to put it down - I wanted to find out what happened next. Stargirl was very different to the other people in her school at Mica High but she was also very kind. She thoughtfully made birthday cards for people and sung 'Happy Birthday' to them. She made a special album of photos and memories to give to a little boy when he was older so he could appreciate them. He would have a record of when he was little to look back on. 'She was exclusive. She was today. She was tommorrow. She was the faintest scent of a cactus flower and the flitting shadow of an elf owl.' Many people didn't like her because she was too kind. When the Mica High was playing against another school for the championships, Sun Valley, a boy called Goliath hurt his foot and fell to the floor in pain, Stargirl was the first there and she helped him and told him everything was going to be alright. The students in Mica High thought that she should have been there helping them and cheering for them, not rushing over to help someone on the opposite team. He had their cheerleaders and team mates to help him. He didn't need another person. But, I thought that she was very nice helping him - he broke his ankle -and she was very supporting. Stargirl was a very interesting book. It kept me interested all the way through and i didnt once think that it was getting boring.
