Reading these other responces I completely agree with Arezou about how I felt as I read this book. When I read the book I felt shocked for some of the reading but mostly I was felt excitement. But in parts of the book I also felt bored, and confused, and sad. This book is what everyone on this page has been writing. A new girl in Mica High named Sargirl is being bullied because of who she is. And she and this boy named Leoo fall in love <3 But Leo tried to change her, make her what he thinks is "normal" like everyone else, just another teenage girl in the crowd, wearing designer clothing and tons of makeup. and she did. She did change, but, when she was "normal" she wasn't happy. So. She changed back :)

This is a about a girl named Stargirl whose different than everyone else but likes a boy named Leo and he likes her. But everyone in the school is against her so she tries to change herself so she can fit in but in the end she stops trying to be someone she's not because people still don't like her. Soon after she leaves the school and was never heard from again. I think the most confusing part was in the end when Hillari slaps Stargirl but instead of slapping back she kisses her on the cheek she made me think why did she do that because I get why she doesn't hit her because I would never imagine Stargirl hitting someone but why did she kiss her instead. When I read the book I felt shocked for some of the scenes but mostly I was felt exciting because I kept thinking what's going to happen next. A connection I made to myself was when I was younger people used to be rude to me because I looked different like how the students were rude to Stargirl because she was different and a connection I made to the world is how all over the the world people (kids and adults) are rude to other people just because they're different. (Arezou)

What i liked about the book was the first part when Stargirl was different from the others at Mica High because she looked, dressed, and acted different. Another part I thought was interesting was when Stargirl liked Leo, and Leo liked Stargirl. I thought it was interesting because I wondered what would happen next between them. I liked Stargirl because she was different and unique and had her own, special personality. I also liked her because she did things no one else would do. The theme of this book is romance, drama, and bullying. I would recommend this book to people who like romance and drama and to people who are new at school. A connection I made to the world is when people make fun of other people just because they look or act different. I really enjoyed reading this book because all the characters were interesting to read about. [Cynthia]

The most exciting part was that Leu likes Stargirl, and Stargirl likes Leu. The interesting part was that when Stargirl changed her name to Susan because I thought that was very stupid to do. The funny part was that she sent a letter to Leu and he got it but he didn't know who it was. The confusing part was that Stargirl changed her personality, her name, and her clothes and she got all girly, and she changed her name to Susan, than at the end she became to Stargirl again, and that when hailary slaped Stargirl, than Stargirl kissed her on the cheek. How I felt when i read this book was like WOW, because like it was a really shocking book that will make you be very interested and think a lot. And I felt really sad for Stargirl, because like when she went to school everybody started being jerks and rude to her just because of how she looked and acted. The connections i had to text to yourself was that when I first came to Canada people kept making fun of me of how i looked because I had really bad teeth and people called m the ugly teeth girl, and that's like what people were doing to Stargirl. The text to the world is that in the world there are kids and some adults that bieng bullied and hurt right now. (Farah)

Stargirl was the new kid at school. She acted and dressed differently. Nobody liked her because of that. Later on Leo started to like Stargirl and they went out. Stargirl attented a basketball game she cheered as a cheerleader and she became popular. At another basketball game she cheered for the opposing team and they won so nobody liked her and they played pranks at her and be rude to her. The most exiting and interesting part was when Stargirl changed into "Susan" she changed her personality, clothes, makeup, hair, everything. The most funny part is that Stargirl play's the ukulele in the lunch room and sings happy Birthday to people she doesn't even know. The most confusing part is when Hilari slapped Stargirl, but Stargirl just gave her a kiss on the cheek. My connection to text to self is when I read this book It was kind of related to a book I read called schooled because there was a boy called Cap similar to stargirl he sat alone and ate lunch alone and there was this boy called Zach he was a bully sililar to Hilari and later on this boy Cap got popular just like Stargirl. My connection to text to world is you alway's see people getting bullied and hurt everywhere but most people do nothing about it and there are a lot of teenagers in love like Stargirl and Leo. How I felt when I read this book is just amazing there was romace, drama, and funny parts and more! I would definitly give this book 5 out of 5 and when I started reading I couldn't keep the book down but I had toI loved the book.(Shabnam)======

Stargirl is the new kid at school and was different than everyone else. She didint really have any friends. Leo started to like her later on and they started dating. Stargirl became a cheerleader and she became popular. Then at a basketball game she cheered for the other team and nobody liked her anymore. Then later she didint come to school for a while and when she came she changed her looks, personality and even her name. Leo started to like her even more than before. But then later Stargirl changed back. A funny part was when Leo and Stargirl were licking icing off each others fingers. I felt like alot of kids can relate to this book if they are new and are different than other people but its good to be different. This reminded me of a book I read its called Schooled Stargirl is just like Cap in it. I think a lot of people in the world are different and like Stargirl but dont care what people think about them which is really good. (Michelle)

Stargirl is the new student at Mica High and was very odd/different from everyone else. She didn't really have any friends because people thought she was wierd. Stargirl had joined the cheerleading team and everyone started to think she was popular because she was hanging out with the cheerleaders. Then one day at the basketball game she decided both teams should be cheered for and then Mica High lost the championship game because of Stargirl. After time Leo and Stargirl started seeing eachother and eventually they started dating. Leo was to embarressed to be with Stargirl in school so Leo said she has to change or Leo will not want to see her anymore. Then Stargirl came back as a totally different person named Susan and Leo was happy. Susan was a popular girl in school so now that she was popluar Leo was not embarressed to be with her. The most confusing part of the story was when Hilari slapped Stargirl and then Stargirl gave Hilari a kiss on the cheek and ran off. I felt sort of wierd emotions when Stargirl would play the ukulele and sing happy birthday to random students she didn't even know. I can relate this to the world because many people in the world, if something goes wrong they will either switch schools or just come the next day as a completly different person and act like nothing happened just to get away from the drama. I can relate this to myself because just like how when Stargirl took her speech and the words changed everytime, it's because she knew a lot about the topic. If I know a lot about a topic and make a speech about it the words will change everytime because I will add more and more the more I talk about it. I can relate this to a movie also where a girl switches schools everytime somthing goes wrong and she tries to be someone else everytime until someone will like her, but she thinks they should like her for who she is and not for who she acts like. So she went back to her normal self and many people liked her and she was happy. my overall impression was I got bored at some parts and near the middle it got really intense. I recommend this book for people who like love stories and who don't like bullying because they will get stong emotions when they find out someone is getting bullied.( Shyeem )

The Story is about a girl who is called Stargirl which is not popular and she is unusual. Then she falls in Love with a popular guy called Leo. Then he Loves her too, but because he is popular and she is not no one talk to them any more even Leo's friend Kevin. So Leo said to stargirl to change to a normal person and try to fit in between them. Then after a weekend Stargirl chages from stargirl into Susan. Then she becomes popular and everyone talks to her and Leo again. But there was only one problem in Susan's populrity her friend Dori Dilson ,and because of Dori Susan changed into Stargirl again. Then the first thing happens again everyone ignores her and don't talk to her and her friend Dori and she losts all her popularity. Then no one talks to Leo again. The Most interesting part is when Star girl changed to Susan and went behind Leo and said " How can you get attention in this place" ?? The book was so good at the first not like the giver and the ending of stargirl was really boring because no one expected the ending to be like that. Text to my Self : I connected this story to my friend who changed for a boy who she likes and i really didn't like the way she acted after she changed ,and stargirl changed for Leo because she likes him. Text to the world : I connected this story to the world because so many girls change for the people they like ,and they change schools because the people at the school don't think they are cool or not popular

Stargirl is the new student at Mica High and was very odd/different from everyone else. She didn't really have any friends because people thought she was wierd. Stargirl had joined the cheerleading team and everyone started to think she was popular because she was hanging out with the cheerleaders. Then one day at the basketball game she decided both teams should be cheered for and then Mica High lost the championship game because of Stargirl. After time Leo and Stargirl started seeing eachother and eventually they started dating. Leo was to embarressed to be with Stargirl in school so Leo said she has to change or Leo will not want to see her anymore. I was really confused and disapointed near the ending when Stargirl was at the dance and she kisses Hillari Kimble on the cheek and that was the end of her, i didn't like it because i didn't want Stargirl to leave like that i wanted it go like Leo and Stargirl would live happlily together for the rest of thier lives and confused because why would she kiss her on the cheek and leave?!?!?!?! That was a real clif hanger. I felt all mixed emotions I was mostly confused and dispointed though. Well, first, i was dispointed and confused in the ending as i said above. But, also, when I heard she would transform I thought she was gonna transform like into a girl with powers, like a girl from a shojo anime!!!!!! But, when Stargirl and Leo where "seeing eachother" I felt that was my favourite part. Text to World Connection: When Stargirl changed to Susan so she could be come popular and to fit and change to some she isn't. I tone of people in this world change who they really are just to fit in. Which i don't like. Text to Self Connection: When Stargirl and Leo start to become closer and closer to eachother, thats how i feel like with my friends. When i hangout with them more and more. It makes me feel closly connected with them, which i like. I agree with Shyeem about his real world connection because it so ture, i am pretty sure at least once a month something like that happens.

I totally agree with Cytnthia on everything, she was totally different from everyone else in the school, she didn't do anything the same as others, and I noticed that when people started acting weird she started acting a little more normal, I like the fact that she never takes no as an answer. So yeeah I think Cynthia was completley right. Abd I also think that she was righty about the themes too, they're romance, Bullying, And school. Michelle is right too! I thought it wazs suuuper cool when startgirl and Leo stared going out and stargirl was really a unique name, I like how she changed it all the time Uit was really cool I wish I was more like her. And I totally agree with her about the schooled connection.
