Summary: All American Girl
Review: I loved all of Meg Cabot's Princess Diary books and here in this book she tells a great story about Samantha a teenage girl who wears all black everyday while having to live with the most popular girl in school, Lucy and is totally in love with her boyfriend, Jack. But worst of all, she was caught selling celebrity protraits at school and her parents are forcing her to take an art class, where ( while ditching it) she just saved the President. The number one reason however that Sam's life is over is the Presidents son just might be in love with her.

Summary: AllAmerican Girl
Review: All-American Girl Wait! Does that guy have a gun? He does! He's aiming for the president! No! Don't shoot! You leap on his back! One minute you're Samantha Madison, student from Washington, the next minute you've just saved the president. Samantha Madison is now an American Hero. Her life now takes a drastic turn for the worst in the novel All-American Girl by Meg Cabot.
Samantha, an art fanatic was forced to take art lessons even though she claims she can already draw. She ran into David at art class or as she thinks of him, the boy who proclaimed "nice boots." What Samantha doesn't know is that David is the president's son. Samantha finds that out in a rather hard way. She has no time to like David because she is madly in love with Jack...her sister Lucy's boyfriend!
Just because she saved the president doesn't mean that her life is perfect. Besides having puffy red hair, a broken arm as a result to saving the president, having no fashion sense whatsoever, having a bossy, older sister, having a little sister named Rebecca who is a certified genius, she has to deal with Kris Parks, a popular girl, who is a big trendsetter at school.
As a reward to saving the president, Samantha was appointed Teen Ambassador of the UN (United Nations.) Having this honor, Samantha was privileged to choose a piece of art to be sent to N.Y for an art contest. After hearing the news Kris Parks changed her attitude towards Samantha and invited Sam to her party. Sam's spunky best friend, Catherine tagged along with her boyfriend. Sam invited David to hopefully make Jack jealous.
A huge ongoing riot started between Jack and David. During that time Sam decided to face the facts and admit that there was no chance with Jack. Sam now had a crush on someone who was right in front of her face through it all...David.
Meg Cabot had great language and made each chapter a total surprise. The language was beautiful and could make vivid images in my mind for each chapter.
An important lesson is to handle life one step at a time. She learned that when life throws you a rocky path, you just need to take each day slow and enjoy everyday to the fullest. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy a great read that would keep you guessing and have you in total suspense at the end of each chapter.
Will Sam make do with her new life? Will she always be an American Hero? Nothing is for sure but one thing...she will always be Samantha Madison in love with David.

Summary: All American Girl
Review: All American Girl is an awesome book. Samantha (Sam) Madison lives in Washington D.C. and after getting a D in German she is forced to take a drawing class. During her first art class she is humilated because she didn't draw what she saw. She skips her next art class and she ends up saving the president's life.
I really enjoyed reading this book because you find out how somebody's life could turn upside down in one day. This book is something that could be happening to a person right now but it still is a little fantasy. This book can also be very funny at times. I think girls my age would enjoy this book a lot. Read this book and find out what happens to Sam.

Summary: Any American Girl should read All-American Girl
Review: Wow - this was an amazing book. I've always wanted to travel and this book makes me want to go visit Washington D.C. Sam is an outcast young girl who doesn't care how she looks so she wears all black. Her older sister is a cheerleader and very popular. Her younger sister is extremely smart. So she's stuck in the middle with no talents, plus the fact that she's failing her German class. Her parents are mad at her and makes her take art lessons - which makes Sam very mad - why take lessons when she already knows how to draw. These art lessons change Sam's life forever. Read the book and find out - it's worth your time!

Summary: The BEST book I have ever read!
Review: This book was absolutely wonderful! It kept me interested until the very last page. You might think that all that happens to Samantha is too good to be true, as if everything good happened to her in particular, but it is clearly not that way, since the author distinctly gives Samantha a personality the very opposite of that. She is very unique and has many views and opinions in which she is not afraid to express and fight for. The events in this book were very exciting; I really enjoyed reading "All American Girl." You will not be disappointed in reading this; just read the first page and you will read the whole book!

You fall in love and there is so many unexpected turns. It will keep you at the edge of your seet. It is hilarious and anyone in their right mind will love it. All American Girl is the type of book you will read over and over again.

Summary: A Waste of Time
Review: I had read most of the Princess Diaries books and enjoyed them when this one came out and my friends and I decided to read it. I didn't like it at all. The story was pretty boring and the main character seemed like almost the exact replica of the girl in Princess Diaries. It was too alike for me and all the characters were pretty one-sided. The writing also was not very good. The one thing that could have saved it was the two sisters in the story who made it interesting, but they couldn't make up for the rest of such a bad book.

Summary: A wonderful new novel by Meg Cabot
Review: Meg Cabot, the author of the excellent Princess Diaries series, has written another wonderful book that will eagerly be devoured by teen girls. Samantha Madison was just an outcast living in the shadow of her older, popular sister Lucy and her geeky genius sister Rebecca who was so smart, she was taking college-level courses at age 11. But Samantha was an outsider- she died all the clothes in her wardrobe black, hung out with all the artist and drama-type kids at school, and as far as she could tell, her only talent was drawing. So when Lucy discovered one day that Samantha had been doing celebrity drawings in German class and charging them to other students, Lucy immediately tells on their parents. Samantha's parents assume that she had been getting a C- in German because she had been spending all her time drawing, so they enrolled her in Susan Boone's art classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays for two hours after school where they felt she could creatively express herself. Samantha, enraged at her parents for enrolling her in these classes and at Susan Boone for criticizing her artwork, decides to ditch class one day and hang out in the record store above the studio, Static, instead. So when Samantha waits for her housekeeper, Theresa, to come pick her up, Samantha was in the wrong place at the wrong time and jumped a guy next to her just as he was about to shoot the President. Suddenly, Samantha's world changes dramatically, including being invited to the most popular girl at school's party and catching the eye of David, the first son, who also happens to be in her art class at Susan Boone's. If you are a fan of the Princess Diaries series, you will LOVE this laugh-out loud, romantic ride.
