  1. i think that this book reminds me of real life somehow. this book shows that alot of people just care bout being popluar and it means alot to them (leo). it means alot to them because they dont want to feel left out thats what i think. i think leo was being selfish because he was trying to make stargirl a person that she wasnt. one question that i have is what happend to stargirl. she just left without saying anything.i predicted that leo was going to realize how unique stargirl was.she was very unique in a good way.my nprediction came true because in the end he keo thinking bout her and he realized how good of a person she was.

  3. im reading the book stargirl so far i think this book is boaring and anoying but i respect it because stargirl is different unquie and independent she likes doin things her own way and thats why she captured leo`s heart. stargirl is very wise and also weird but i think thats why she wants to be normal not only because leo wants her to be but because she wants a change in her life and she wants people to respect her even more. i say this book is boaring because their is little drama in it and in this type of book you need alot of drama i mean she should say whats really on her mind she should tell people what she really feel`s and if she does that they wont be ingorant to her.

  4. About stargirl the book thing i guess stargirl's kind of boring because i don't really understand it much but yet it's getting kind of cool interesting because in the part that i'm reading stargirl was hated by most people in her school really hate her just because she's different so yeah it cool.

  5. im reading the book stargirl and what i think about it so far is i think that it is boring but i give credit to stargirl because instead of following and copying everybody else she came to the school and had her own unique style and appearance. Also i have a question and it is "why does stargirl have to be so weird"? One opinion i have if leo is in love with stargirl he should do what he wants and not listen to anybody else that gets in his business. And why does this girl hilari kimble have to be so ignorant because she sung her a song on her birthday.

  6. i agree with lizi because stargirl had imagination but people thought that she was different because the way she acted it's just that she was celebrating somone's birthday and they would be embarrased because of everyone watching them when she's standing on the table. leo also tried to stop her from being weird but he found out that she had alot of imagination and that she had her own enchanted place

  7. i dnt agree with leo in this book because leo only likes her for the outside btu he should look at her from th inside and see what she is relly made of .i think the only reason leo wants her to change and not be weird is because he dosn`t want anybody to say something bout her i mean he dosn`t want to be embrassed because of who she is. leo is feeling scared and not careing he shouldn`t care what anybody thinks about him or the desions he makes. & star girl shouldn`t change for anybody well thats only if she want`s to change

  8. hi i almost finished this book just few more pages until i'm done with this book which means i'm done with two books anyways first nearer to the very end of this book i thought that stargirl i mean susan was going to stay stargirl and then leo told her to change so she changed so i was wrong and then i thought that was the end because then everyone liked her so it seemed like the end and i felt like if i was stargirl i would of been stargirl because i don't want to be the same as everyone esle because it just so boring so thing but then she turned back to stargirl and i don't know what's going to happen next i wonder if she's going to stay stargirl.

  10. I AGREE WITH SHAMAR AND LIZI BECAUSE SHE HAD AN IMAGINATION AND SHE ALWAYS HAS FUN BUT PEOPLE LOOK AT HER LIKE SHE IS WEIRD AND ONLY LOOKS AT HER ACCORDING TO HOW SHE LOOKS ON THE OUTSIDE. BUT KNOWBODY WANTED TO KNOW HER ON THE INSIDE AND EVERYBODY IS NOW STARTING TO KNOW THE REAL STARGIRL AND SHE IS NOW BECOMING POPULAR. ALSO I DONT THINK THAT LEO SHOULD TRY AND CHANGE STARGIRL INTO SOMETHING SHES NOT BEC AUSE I THINK SHE IS UNIQUE IN HER OWN WAY.

  11. even though i finised this book i think it made my imagination more stronger than before because i can belive in anything if i put my mind into it i also think that when i was reading the book everyone said that she was weird but i didn't because i knew that she had a stronger imagination than the other kids and that the other kids were weird because what can life be without imagination of course it would be boring.

  12. Dear pamela i dont agree when you said that this book boring!Because at first ut was really counfusing and i really didnt get but i got deeper in this book and it kinad teaches you a lesson that you shouldnt change for anyone because everyine is unqine in their own way. No one is the same this book remminds me of The Giver well not really it just makes me think how everyone was The same which really isnt cool everyone at all. In Fact I think it is dum because if everyone was the same your life wouldnt be intersting. I also think that being popluar isnt fun because everyone supposed to stand out in your own little way!

  13. Wait i have one big question why is everyine being so mean to star girl!You treat everyone fairly and you should respect them no matter who they are our were they come from! Its so mean they way you guys treat her omg it makes me mad. My other question is that why are you so shy leo and who cares if stargirl is diffrent and weird from the others kids no is the same so. And why did you guys think of making a show called the hit seat I personally hate the show it is really mean to the students and some of The question are really mean and embrassing ,mean,cruel!

  14. Stargirl is really a good book.I agree with Lizi in this book people only care about being popular and hurting people's feeling.In the book Leo trys to make stargirl into something she's not.Throught out the book people were really mean to Stargirl and very different from her.In the book Stargirl is very....unquie in her own way.that's probaly why she captured Leo's heart.In the book it really doesn't have all that Drama in it which kinda makes it boring but so far Stargirl is a really good book

  15. i agree about leo being scared because he gos out with her and still wants to be popular but people thinks shes weird so staying together will bring his popularity way down and he doesnt want that to happen so thats why he wants her to chaage but i still give him credit for noy just breaking up with her and asking her to change because he could just break up but he probly still likes her

    ReplyDelete
  16. I thinks that it is so sweet that Stargirl captures Leo's heart.On page 83 its was so sweet when she wrote him that note . I really Think that is sucks that everyone being mean to Leo just because Stargirl likes him. Everyone really being mean for alot of things.If leo breaks up with her it would be mean! I would rather chosse love then Popularity!!!Also why does everyone make a big deal about popularity

  17. I totally agree with Cassie, she is so right about why these kids in the book are being so mean to Stargirl. It is like what is so wrong with her she may act like is is crazy but guess what guys she isn't crazy she just wanted to be liked as a person not a psycho maniac. And it is just how she is as a person so you all are going to have to accept the fact thatshe is A STARGIRL. So, relpay back at me and give me you'r opinion because Stargirl and her book is very very humorous and touching. This book touched me because of what she had to go through. It reminds me of someone in the school. NO NAMES CALLED OR ATTACHED!!!

  18. i think this book is ok. i think it is okay because it tell how it is klike in diffrent schools and what happens to a girl who is very kind and people still did not try to be nice. But people di be nice to her but then they just went back to being rotten to her.

  19. I may have not read star girl in the 6th grade but i have read this book in 5th grade.One thing that i learned when i read star girl is that its ok to be different but you have to not care about what other people think.Its like star girl is a star in hollywood and the others are just normal people. So then the other people just start to spread rumors like the book and then it lead to her loseing her popilarity.

  20. Stargirl is the best ! I really like this book , it reminds me of myself in to many ways !Last year in my school , i was a stand-out just like her ! i really didnt care what the other kids thaught about me !

  21. Reading the book Monster makes your thoughts vary as you read on in the story. It especially makes you think about life in jail. Everyone in jail has their own personality whether they are violent, confused, or just being accused of a crime that they didn't do like Steve. Steve seems really different from everyone else in jail. I'm sure there are people in jail that have been accused of something that they didn't do, but there is just something different about Steve's personality that makes him stand out. Even though he had a rough childhood he is loyal and respectful.

  22. Okay so first of all I just finished the stargirl book and it was boring I got a headace just trying to make sense of it but anyways I was so weird stargirl frist susan then she went to the school with real people and then acted stargirl and then she changed into susan again to just because she found out people don't like the stuff she's doing? Way into the duh cave,if she didn't know she's ways dum but still then she change back into stargirl and so i was like she make up your mind who do you want to be then I finally finished the book which was boring yet there's drama so yeah only like a little bit of the story part.

  23. I want to know why Stargirl is so popular because about a month ago when she was being weird nobody like but then they got to now her and now it seems like they're bored of her. Now that Stargirl is not so popular I think that their sports teams are going to start losing games and I think when that happens everybody in the school and on the sports teams are going to start blaming her for their losses and I dont think thats fair because if she doesnt play why would they blame her? Also I want to know why is Stargirl acting so differntly?

  27. Now i just started reading this book its really intresting but the first page was so bouring .BUT i still like this book

  28. Now that Stargirl is on the hot seat because they wanted her to be on it so bad why are they treating her so badly now that she is on it? The kids that are on the show asking the questions keep asking why did she change her name so much and why is she cheering for other teams and so on. If I was Stargirl I would tell them to mind their businesses because if she wants to do those things that is her buisness. That is what I think.

  29. is intresting . so far they need to really make up there mind either you put her on the hot seat or you dont .MAKE UP YOUR MIND! This book is really something .i think that she really isn`t that weird of a person she is really nice and friendliy. And if i was at that school i would love to be her friend . SHE REALLY IS A NICE LITTLE GIRL!!!

  31. Stargirl is very interesting. So far in the book i really like it but a character that i really dont like is Hillary. Because she despises Stargirl i wonder why? Is it because she is diverse or is it because she is bizarre,it also could be because she is imaginitive or because she just doesnt like Stargirl. Why do Kevin and his friend want to put Stargirl on the hotseat so badly is it because people really want to know about her? Or is it to expose her to try to get the "dirt" on her? Stargirl is a cheerleader whiich is kind of wierd how come she cheers for the team she is on and the other team? I find it awckward that she left in the middle of the game at Red Rock and then they tricked her and left her there adn the janitor had to take her home. The worst part is that they give Stargirl a fake apoligy! I have no idea what will happen next I wondeer if Stargirl will change or will she change like every time she changed her name but I guess im going to have to read to find out. These are my thoughts so far on Stargirl and so far i love this book.

  32. It's Imani and today I read the book StarGirl and so far I read about her moving from Pennsylvania to Arizona when she was twelve. I remember when my mom told me that when her mom was a little girl that she moved from Pennsylvania to Boston. Sometimes on school vacation or in the summer me and my family go to Pennsylvania to visit family we haven't seen in a very long time. Also I read about how she collects bowties and the one she made for her uncle he ripped it off very fast and gave it back to her because of her moving. I remeber when I gave something to my aunt because she was moving to Pennsylvania with my other aunts.

  33. I agree with the students that say Stargirl is an interesting book. So where I am in the book, Stargirl and Leo have a relationship going on. But how does Leo really feel about what's going on? And does he feel the same way as Stargirl? I guess I just have to read further to find out. They also get along great and constantly make each other laugh. They seem in "LOVE". Leo has taken a bigger step in his life with Stargirl. Okay I'm out !

  34. Stargirl is interesting in many ways :] I really like it, makes me feel more good about my self even though ima standout because of my stlye and actions !

  35. It's really stupid the way they got mad just because the other team was about to make them lose their winning streak. I think that tha is a really stupid thing to get mad at, well Icould understand that they never won that much games they should of just been happy of how long they was winning adn just say it was fun while it lasted and got over it all ready cause they might have a chance of of winning the same amount of times or even more.

  37. Now I am on page 86 and a few days after stargirl was on the hotseat she is acting very differently now. For example when she is cheering at the basketball games she only cheers for her team and not for the other team as usual. One little thing I didnt get was when one of the people in the n crowd threw a tomatoe at her, why are they being so mean? Also I think now that Stargirl is starting to like Leo and thats why he is the only one who got that card that says "I LOVE YOU"

  38. TO ME THIS BOOK IS FULL OF DRAMA!:)
    Ok does anyone agree with me? And im saying this because this book is really good but to much haters in this book . what im trying to say is that this girl um .....HILLARI KIMBLE is mad at Stargirl for being herself . NOW THATZ CRAZY!! OKAY SHE SHOULD JUST LEAVE THE GIRL ALONE LET HER SHOW EVERYONE WHAT SHE CAN REALLY DO!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  39. NOW THAT SHE SHOWED EVERYONE WHAT SHE CAN DO THEY WANT TO BE NICE TO HER.And she`s a CHEERLEADER!! OMG what im wondering is is she being a cheerleader because she wants to. Or because if she does she will now fit in with other people. WHAT I BET IS IF THEY ALL REALLY WANT TO BE STARGIRL`S FRIEND THEY SHOULD LET HER KNOW THAT!!! POINT BLANK

    ReplyDelete
  40. I agree with Issac why does Hillari dispies stargirl? Maybe syargirl's dfferent from everyone Hillari hates her. I also want to know who left those porcupine ties . I think stargirl left them because she wears crazy stuff. I think kevin likes stargirl he wants her to be in the HOT SEAT. He wants to give her a mini show. That is a sign of love.

  41. OK in chapter 18 Everyone ingoring Leo why is that just because he likes Stargirl!Oh woah everyones so mean! Just because she is different! This teaches me a lesson in life that you shouldnt sterotype anyone or jujdge them because the diffrent or because they dont act liek you look like you! Everyone diffrent no matter what everyone being the same would be her like seriouslay doesnt everyone think that or agree with me! Leo if you let anyone get i nthe way of your love life you are really mean!I LOVE PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THEE PERSONAILTY AND ACCEPT FOR WHO I AM
