Summary: Stargirl the book that challenge the fact too be different.
Review: I liked this book because it was so real that actually touched the cituations that exist in todays world like the fact of been different and actually not carring about what people think like Stargirl, when she sang Happybirthday to everyone in the MUR with her Ukalely, carring her pet cinnamon a rat were ever she went, and singing out in the rain. It also deals with love because she falls in love with Leon which was a popular kid at school and some how he falls inlove with her. This book also deals with friendship because after having a lot of friends when joinning the chirleading squad she had none when coming back from the oratorical contest with the first place trophy.Such a great book that I actually sent a letter to Jerry Spinelli telling him how good his book was and gaved him some ideas in how to write Star Girl II. I would have to say that you have to read it to believe it and I encurrage you to read it because even though is easy to read it is also a great book.

Rating: 4 stars

I recommed this book to anyone who wants a good book to read while waiting because whatever your waiting for couldn't be more interesting than this book. Read it!!!

Summary: Prepare to learn a lesson from the girl of the stars!!!
Review: I think Stargirl is good book except for the end. Stargirl becomes one of those people who goes around in a silver lunch truck. But over all I think the book was good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Girl From the Stars, A Lesson on Individuality
Review: Stargirl is about a wonderful free spirited high school girl who unlike all of her peers, doesn't care what anyone thinks of her. She is of course shunned from the "cool crowd" for being "different." But that doesn't bother Stargirl. She continues to display acts of kindness for enemies and her one friend, Dorie Dillson. While everyone is busy trying to find reasons to hate her, Leo Borlock does the exact opposite. He falls in love with her. As "everyone" shuns both Leo and Stargirl, Leo comes face to face with a problem. Leave the girl he loves, or be considered "cool" again.
Stargirl is a wonderful book written by Jerry Spinelli, his best ever! This book moved me. IT helps you realize that yes, you can be different.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Prepare to learn a lesson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I thought of this but as a real lesson in modernate life. While reading this book i found that we waste our lives worring about what everyone else thought of us instead of being ourselves. This book was one that got me to think of why am i always thinking about what everyone thinks instaed of living life like it's suppose to be instaed of how we hope it is going to be. Stargirl shows her kindness by singing happy birthday, cheering for the other basketball team. This was a book that really got me thinking and it should do the same for you.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Stargirl
Review: I thought the book was pretty good. I liked the way Jerry Spinelli showed us that being different can be good and bad. I liked some of the humor especialy the joke about the guy who danced with Stargirl at the end. Again, I think the book was great and some of my class is waiting for a sequal.

Rating: 5 stars

THANKYOU!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Appreciating the beat of a different drummer
Review: Ostensibly about Stargirl's effect on Mica High and how difficult it is to be different in a world that demands conformity, Spinelli's story delves deep into Leo's loss and growing self-awareness when he cannot fully accept Stargirl as she is and loses her as a result. For Leo, this recognition of the immense gift he had been offered -- and rejected -- is his first step to maturity. His life will be forever changed (as were the others in Mica High) by having shared a world, however briefly, that was enriched by Stargirl's presence.

As an adult gazing backward to the agonies of those high school years, I wish I had known a Stargirl. Heck, I wish I'd been a Stargirl. I was deeply moved by Spinelli's book and the late John Ritter's reading of the audio version is just wonderful.
