Summary: Stargirl
Review: Have you ever seen a girl walking around with a mouse on her shoulder at school? The kids at Mica high know about it. I read the book Stargirl by Jerry Spinellli. This was a very interesting book. The main character of the book is a boy named Leo Borlock. When one of Leo's friends come and says that there is a new girl at school. He starts hearing different things about this mystery girl. Then he finally meets her. Her name is Stargirl Caraway. Stargirl is a free spirited girl. The kind of girl that is strange, weird, odd, and someone the defiantly DO NOT want to hang out with if you want to be popular. But the doesn't stop Leo from becoming a good friend to her. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a book that is funny but still serious.

Summary: Amazing!!
Review: this book, when i first picked it up at least, didn't impress me at all.. but as soon as i got into it and understood the deeper meaning it was amazing. Many of us individuals have to try to fit in and like stargirl, try to. Ultimately it all comes down to who you really are, and i believe that this book shows you that you should always, ALWAYS be nice to others that are different. don't betray your own feelings just so you can be 'popular'
that was sooooo irrelevant, but anyway... yes i would recommend this book to everyone, and i promise that it will touch you unless you are a complete fool.

Summary: One of the best I have read in a long time.
Review: I had been eyeing this book for weeks trying to deside if I was too old to read it. Finally I picked it up and I fell madly in love with it. What a fun story. Stargirl is a person I would have loved to be in school. Someone who is not afraid of herself. What a beautiful story. I think everyone should read it.

Summary: Judging stargirl
Review: Stargirl.When she comes to pedestrian Mica High school in an explosion of cheers. In the halls it's always "Stargirl" "stargirl". Stargirl hooks Leo Borlocks heart with just one smile. She fires a spirited revolution with a cheer. They are captured by her spell( at first.)
Then they shun her. Because she is an outcast. Leo was nervous and persuaded her to be what would burn out her fire: being normal. Jerry Spinelli writes an amazing story about a girl that will make you cry and think.

Summary: Stargirl is wonderful!
Review: Mica High is a place where no one is different and everything is the same. But this will all change when a new girl named Stargirl Caraway arrives on the first day of 10th grade. "She is elusive" was probably the best way to describe whatever Stargirl truley was. Only one thing was for sure- no one accepted her. That is, except Leo Borlock. Falling head over heels in love with her, he realizes that he must chose between her and everyone else.
I think that this was a very powerful book, that taught the reader about simple acts of kindness. Stargirl was more of a spirt and celebration of humanity then a character in a book. I think that everyone should read and learn from Stargirl's ways. This was an awesome book! - Geena~ Age 12

Summary: Mudpie, Pocket Mouse, Hullygully....Stargirl
Review: Everybody at MAHS are the same, they talk the same talk and walk the same walk. What turns the school upside down is Stargirl. She makes up her own talk and walk...and more. She became popular because of this, was copied off of and became a ra-ra cheerleader. But then she goes too far with that honor...
This book brings up lots of discussion and you can really relate to Stargirl, or the characters to other characters of Jerry Spinelli. What a masterpeice!

Summary: Something Different
Review: The book Stargirl is a story about a girl who is a little different. At first, the book is slow, but it then becomes very interesting. I like the book because it is very different. It highlights the teenage years and how popularity is important to young kids. When something different comes along it is hard for kids to adjust. It includes a teenage crush and pressure from other teenagers to fit in. It is a great story for teenagers to read and enjoy. The author of Stargirl is Jerry Spinelli, who has written many wonderful books. I would recommend this book to anyone, especially the young, teenagers of today.

Summary: Pocket mouse, Stargirl, Susan..........
Review: Pocket mouse no, Stargirl is a very werid girl, she sings songs in the lunchroom and do all kinds of werid things. People in this high school don't like her. But when she and Leo starts liking each other, Leo tried to make her change into a NORMAL girl, she did. But peoples still hates her, so at last after the school dance no one had ever seen her anymore.

Summary: How True to Yourself are You?
Review: Are you someone who follows the crowd, wears, talks, and thinks like everyone else? If you are, then you might want to read a book about someone who is totally herself, and doesn't care about what anyboby thinks or does. Stargirl is the title, and the author, Jerry Spinelli, finds a way to make it as if you're there, you're her herself, Stargirl. Stargirl is a girl who has been homeschooled her whole life, up until tenth grade. At first, nobody new what to make of her. This book shows everything she went through and how everyone treated her. Her name, Stargirl. Very unusual. She had made it up, and changed it whenever she got tired of it. I thought Stargirl was a great book. I really liked how Spinelli put this book into detail. He really made a clear picture in my mind. One thing I didn't like was how, on one or two parts, I wasn't 'in' the book. I mean, at those parts I wasn't as interested. Everything else was fabulous. I just want to congradulate Jerry Spinelli on how well he wrote this book, because I truly thought Stargirl was fantastic, and it would be nice if everyone showed their true self. So, don't hesitate, ... purchase Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli, you won't regret it!
