All-American Girl by Meg Cabot


Book Recommendation by Rosemary S.

Buford Branch

Samantha Madison, a high school sophomore, is the middle child. Stuck between her popular and beautiful older sister, Lucy, and genius younger sister, Rebecca, Sam is a girl considered an outcast. She loves drawing and was caught selling celebrity portraits she has made. Her parents are making her take art classes as punishment. She skips art class and goes down to the music store to listen to music and that’s when her life changes drastically. The President of the United States was passing by on his limo when a man standing by her pulls out a gun and attempts to assassinate the President. Sam quickly acts and jumps on the man and screams for help.

Now an instant celebrity overnight, not to mention her new position as Teen Ambassador to the U.N., Samantha finds herself having meals and hanging out at the White House. She meets David, the President’s son, and soon falls in love with him.
Join Samantha and see what there is in store for her. All-American Girl is an easy to read and easy to understand book. This book teaches that anyone can be a hero, and the real heroes are not always who we think they are. Meg Cabot has written a sequel to this book. It is called Ready Or Not. I highly recommend it.
