Summary: GOTTA READ IT !!!!
Review: Stargirl is a magnificent book. No other word to describe it. It is a tale that most of us can identify with, the tale of a girl who is different and made fun of at school. But Stargirl is unlike anyone you have ever met. She will refuse to change her ways to fit in with the crowd, which most of us have done in one situation or the other, and will change herself only when the boy she loves asks her to.

Summary: OMG!!! Best book ever!
Review: [WOW!], this book is so good! I read it in one day! It's about this high school and "fitting in". This girl comes into leo borlock's high school. her name is stargirl and she acts well herself. however it's not the way they act at Mica High School. At Mica they are all the same. They listen to the same music wear the same clothes. But when Stargirl comes it all changes. To sum it all up it's a cute lil love story that every1 should read!

Rating:
Summary: Good book
Review: This book was good, but kind of corny. I loved how Stargirl was so outgoing and caring, but there are so few people actually like that, that it is almost depressing.I would still recommend it because it is a feel-good book that I enjoyed.

Summary: To Conform or not to Conform, that is the Question
Review: In Spinelli's blunt satire, we meet a home-schooled girl "gone public", but hasn't a clue to the teen scene. With an open heart, and an open mind, she tries to fit in, and finds her "place" with the protagonist.
We journey along with these characters, and we,as readers, grapple with our own "individuality vs. conformity" issues. How much should we "give up" in order to "fit in" ?

Summary: This book just makes ya feel good!
Review: This is a great book. Sure it's on a 6th grade reading level but the message behind the words is for everyone (i'm 15). It encourages you to accept people as they are. At the end of the book, you just wanna go out and help someone or give someone a hug. I love this book!

Summary: Stargirl
Review: A mysterious girl shows up at Leo's school and isn' like other girls. She doesn't wear make-up, carries around a ukele and a canvas bag that she keeps her pet rat in. She sings "happy birthday" to everyone. She gives cards to people. She hands out candy on holidays.
She has so much to give, but Leo finds her so strange. Leo finds out she likes him, and he starts to like her back. He finds out all sorts of really strange stuff about her, but he still wants her to be popular and dress like everyone else. She tries to be like everyone else, but Leo finds out that she is incredibly unhappy that way.
This is a really awesome book that helps people to realize the importance of giving to other people instead of becoming overly-obsessed with yourself and self-obsorbed. It helps people realize things that are deeper than what most kids realize. It teaches you incredible skills that can help you to be happy and confident in your life.

Summary: Long Live Star Girl!
Review: When Star Girl moves to Mica, a small city in Arizona, everyone is bewildered by her! She is a very unique teenager. She carries a ukelele to lunch and sings happy birthday to her peers, carries a pet mouse named Cinnamon on her shoulder, and she wears clothing much different than any teenager in Mica would wear.
Soon, she meets Leo, and she becomes his girlfriend. Leo wants Star Girl to be "normal", and wear the same kinds of clothes as other girls, and do the same kinds of activities as other girls. However, that is not who Star Girl really is. Star Girl likes to do things for other people, sometimes people she doesn't even know! Star Girl is one of a kind.
I would recommend this book to any person who is tired of seeing all of their peers "follow the crowd". I also think that people who are "followers" would benefit from reading this book. There are so many other things in the world to think about other than what you or your peers are doing, and reading this novel makes you think about what else you can do for someone or something else. This book really broadens your horizons as a person, and I recommend it for any middle school student.
