Comments and Qutes from Stargirl

I really enjoyed this book. I did not, however, like the ending very much. I was disappointed that Stargirl and Leo did not get together in the end or at least become friends. It was sad that Leo tried to change Stargirl into someone that she was not, so I guess he deserved what he got. I have never really known anyone similar to Stargirl, but I will admit that there have been times when I have stereotyped people as loners and freaks. I wish I had read this book when I was younger and I will definitely recommend it to my students.

Chapter 19

"Why can't she be..."
He finished for me:
"...Like everybody else?"


"She seems to be in touch with something that the rest of us are missing."

Chapter 20

"Well, it's nice to get credit."
... she turned her wide eyes on me.
"Is it?" she said.

Chapter 25

"You can't just wake up in the morning and say you don't care what the rest of the world thinks."
