All American Girl By:Meg Cabot


SUMMARY
All American Girl takes place in Washington D.C. in 2003. The protagonist is Samantha Madison, she is just a regular girl from D.C. She lives with her mom, dad, older sister,Lucy, and her younger sister, Rebecca. She is a sophomore at Adams Prep High School. She also absolutely loves drawing and art. Also, she is in love with her sister Lucy's boyfriend, Jack. the antagonist is Kris Parks. She is a girl who used to be Sam's best friend but now is her worst enemy. She is one of the most popular girls at school and treats Sam badly. But half way through the book she begins to think that she is Sam's best friend. Sam is more of a rebel in her family. She dyed all her clothes black. She also wants to just be able to draw all the time and not go to school. She disagrees with her parents on the decisions they make for her. The conflict in the book is that Sam is this regular teenage girl, except for one thing, she saved the President of the United States life. She stopped a man who was trying to assassinate him. She then later is appointed teen ambassador of the UN, and discovers that the President's son might be in love with her.
REVIEW
Some of the themes of this book is, love and bravery. Love for all the love Sam has for Jack. Also the love she has for art. While bravery is that everyone believes that she is so brave for saving the president's life, but she doesn't view it as brave, she just thought that it was the right thing to do. It really like the author's style, she really knows what teenage girl want to read and what type of books they like. The story was definitely credible. There is many high school girls also like Sam and it could be possible that a regular girl from Washington D.C. could save the president's life. Also, all of the characters were very realistic. I think that the author was just trying to create a great, fun, and easygoing book, in the novel, and she definitely accomplished that. I would recommend this book for any girl 13 and up. Also I would recommend this book to any girl who likes the Princess Diaries series.
