Summary: Good Book
Review: The first thing that appealed to me about this book was the cover because the way the title was written was very interesting and original and it describes exactly "StarGirl" because that's how she was.I thought it proved a good point about how we shouldn't judge people because of how they look but instead get to know them better and accept them for who they are. And also that you should accept people the way they are because they are unique and StarGirl could relate to a lot of people but to a certain extent some things she did I admit would be pretty weird...like for example to have someone go around singing happy birthday to people with a ukulele, or someone that takes pictures of people to make a scrapbook of their lives. The main point was that she always put others first and cared a lot about other people. The way this book was written was very nice, I liked the words and expressions Jerry Spinelli used when he described her to things and when he said that they tried to pin her down like a butterfly but she flew away. I wish the ending was sort of different and somehow talked about her more and what she was up to but besides that it was a very interesting book.

Summary: Five Stars For Stargirl
Review: Stargirl by Jerri Spinelli is about a boring, follow-the-crowd town called Mica that hasn't changed since anyone can remember. Everyone dresses the same, acts the same, and pretty much is the same until Stargirl comes along. Her arrival brought color and cheerfulness into dull little Mica high school, all until one girl convinces the school that her kindness had gone too far. It seemed as though everyone had lost their faith in being the slightest bit different, all but one boy named Leo. Though Leo is forced to feel the torment of rejection and hate, nothing can take away his love and friendship with Stargirl.
Stargirl is a fun, well written story of love, devotion and having the courage to be who you want to be. It tought me so many lessons about life and how important one good friend can be. It is a wonderful book for people of all ages.

Summary: Words can never describe it
Review: Stargirl is truly an amazing character in this novel. This is one of those books that bring out all of your emotions. You laugh, you cry and everything in between. I read this book because it was highly recommended by my english teacher. I really enjoyed this book, because not only did it touch base on the things that most authors try to avoid, but it's also filled with mystery and inspiration. This is one of those books that you can't stop thinking about no matter how hard you try. Stargirl is truly a role model to every reader of this book. One has to be truly lucky and gifted to run into a stargirl in their lifetime, as stated in the book. Spinelli truly did a fantastic job at capturing the emotion and discrimination that both of the main characters faced. One of my favorite characters though, was Dori. Dori is like the friend that is there for you no matter what. This book is unquestionably the best and most intriguing book I have ever read and would highly recommend it to readers or any age.

Summary: A book that will make you think
Review: Stargirl is different. She plays a ukulele and sings "Happy Birthday" to everyone at school on their birthdays, during lunch period. Stargirl covers her desk in a table cloth with daises, carries around a rat and cheers for both teams at a basketball game. Walking into Mica High, Stargirl is instantly popular. A boy, Leo Borlock, became captivated by her difference. He fell in love. Springing individuality in a place where everything is plain Jane, everyone seems to love her. Yet, there is never too much of a good thing. Spinelli writes, "By December, Stargirl Caraway had become the most popular person in the school." (36). The feelings I had as I read this book were very philosophical. Why does it seem that the things the school ended up hating Stargirl for, things like cheering for the opponent at basketball games are the things we should do more of? Stargirl believes in enchanted places. Enchanted places don't have to be anything special, just a place where you close your eyes and lose yourself. You become one with the ground. Why does she seem so right? Spinelli writes, "'it's in the morning, for most of us. It's that time, those few seconds when we're coming out of sleep but we're not really awake yet. For those few seconds we are more primitive creatures than what we are to become....We are untitled, unnamed, unnatural, suspended between was and will be, the tadpole before the frog, the worm before the butterfly. We are, for a few moments, anything and everything we could be. And then...' '...we become ourselves' (103).
The title Stargirl is the nickname Susan Caraway had chosen for herself. It's not even a nickname, it is a name. Stargirl is what "felt right" as she said. Stargirl had several other titles earlier on in her lifetime, too. Spinelli writes, "'when she first showed up, she called herself Pocket Mouse. Then Mud pie, then-what? - Hullygully, I believe" (32).
Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli is an exceptional book that makes people want to show their inside to the out. We all have the dark, abiding secrets of our goofiness in the lonesome of our bedrooms. Leo Borlock set himself free to this girl, letting himself fall in love with her. But, when the school begins to hold a serious grudge to Leo, it bothers him and he feels like he needs everyone to talk to him to know he's real. Stargirl, on the other hand, didn't notice. He told her that she needed to care about what other people thought. And for a few days, she was Susan again. People still didn't care about that; they didn't want to talk to her anyway. Stargirl shows up at the Ocotillo Ball dateless and friendless, to try and persuade the world to talk to her. Spinelli writes, "...the bunny hop. Within seconds a long line was snaking across the floor. Stargirl led the way" (171).
Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli was a klutzy, charming book that makes people smile. It's like looking in a mirror. I like to think of this book as a learning experience, like a child's book with a moral in the end. We could all learn something from it. Leo Borlock would leave his window open every night and look at the moon and say, "Hello Stargirl." Spinelli writes, "'Star people are rare. You'll be lucky to find another one'" (177).

Summary: Loved it, however sappy it may look
Review: i was inspired by stargirl. i saw 'stargirl caraway' in myself, from being different, to walking around with a rat on my shoulder.i read stargirl on a deal with my friend, she read the golden compass, i read stargirl. i figured, only 180 pages, it'll only take me an hour. but then i discovered i wanted it to last longer. it's a very emotional book, and if you're looking for an adventure thriller, i don't suggest it. otherwise, this is the book for you.
