My teacher made my class read this book last year and it was dreadful. The storyline lacked excitement and failed to build up to a captivating climax. Despite this, I did manage to complete the book and appreciated some of the underlying…

It was an okay book. It was a classic tale of someone being unlike other people and it had a very good message, but I feel like it could have been executed a little bit better. Towards the end, I felt like I was forcing myself to read it.…

Stargirl is a good book! This book is much more than your average high school romance story as it focuses on the theme of non-conformity. I liked the message of staying true to yourself while disregarding the opinions of others and that…

This book was interesting and pretty good! I think this story is about the journey of Stargirl. I like how Stargirl deals with other students and the new environment. Her positiveness impacts me when I read the book so makes me laugh and…

Pretty good book, to be honest. The originality is intense, but I was sort of confused as to what was going on. It went from one extreme, (normal boring high-school life without a lot of drama, I guess) to when Stargirl, or Susan, stepped…

Stargirl is one of the first books I read all the way through. It was given to me from my tutor and she raved about it. She told me it was one of her favourites. I did enjoy the book, but not as much as there was no exciting action parts.…

Pretty good book

Overall this was a good read. Stargirl had a nice message about nonconformity that I think really resonates with teens today. Although to be honest, the young adult fiction genre doesn’t interest me as much. There were times where I was…

High school can be brutal, you guys. Especially for those who are bravely, unapologetically themselves. Case in point - Stargirl. Can she herself even endure the wrath of the popular kids? I fell in love with this book. I hope the new…

This was such a good book! The characters are so magical, but real enough that you can relate to them. I'd give this book ten stars if there weren't only five. AMAZING!!!!

I loved Stargirl, both the book in general and Stargirl herself. It's so well written, and I loved how the story is told in Leo's voice, even though the focus is on Stargirl. This book is so good, I almost felt like I was in it! Please…

I read Stargirl on a recommendation from my tweener and was enraptured. This book is clearly targeted to young teens, but its message of kindness, tolerance and self-love, expressing individuality despite the social pressures to conform,…

Stargirl is a teenage novel written by Jerry Spinelli that mainly focuses on individuality. Today's society is all about fitting in with everyone else, but the thought of being unique is rarely ever considered. Everyone is always willing…

Love this book, I think the big message in this book is not to follow the crowd and be yourself!

Stargirl is one-of-kind. She's caring, loving and not afraid to be herself. But she is also naviete about the pressures in society to conform. What happens when we are our true selves and what happens when we are not? Who are memorable…

This story was challenging and heartwarming. I want to be like Stargirl...even though it's easier to be like Leo. I liked Leo a lot, and I love how he changed because of Stargirl. She made a lasting impact.
