Summary: Realistic Novel with incredable twists throughout
Review: Samantha was a social outcast in school. A nightmare, or atleast that is what her older sister would say. She was unpopular and was considered one of the "weirdos" at her private school in Washington D.C. Her older sister, the popular girl, dislikes her tastes, but loves her reguardless and chooses her over her boyfriend. Her younger sister is smart and thinks that she knows everything. Her life is terrible, no one cares about her,and feels alone because she is the middle child. Little did she know that her entire life would change when she skipped art class, saved the president from an attempeted murder, becomes a national hero, and becomes the US representative for the UN. She loves her sister's boyfriend and is determined to have him fall in love with her, until she looks deep inside and realizes that she never did love him, all with the help of her art teacher. She gets a C- in German and is caught drawing pictures of celebrities posing with her classmates and is forced to put her artistic talent elsewhere. At art class, she meets David (the Pres.'s son) and realizes how much they really have in common (he is really not that nerdy as he seems to be). Eventually she and David fall in love, but only after a disagreement between the two that costs them their friendship and must prove that they really are friends (and much more). The characters are realistic and you feel like you know them. Meg does a wonderful job of putting you into the story and making you feel as if you were there and could only tell Sam that everything will work out. It is one of the best novels I have read and recomend it for those under 15. (It is not really ment for 16-17 year old girls, but they too will enjoy it). Great Christmas Gift for anyone on your list that believes in a Cinderella Story that could indeed come true.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book to relate to...:)
Review: Anyone can relate to at least one of the characters...or more. It was really fun to read...i read it in a day. I loved the main character and her best friend reminded me of mine (in some ways) Obviously the author knew which *stars* are kool right now (ex:josh hartnett, heath ledger, gwen stefani, etc.)(at least with who i hang out with) and it made the book easier to relate to. I think any teenage girl would love this book...i know i did.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must read for every American girl!
Review: "All-American Girl" is the brand new book written by Meg Cabot, also the author of the famous series for teen girls, "The Princess Diaries".

PLOT SUMMARY: 15-year-old Samantha Madison lives in Washington DC with her mother, father, and two sisters (she's the middle child). Sam describes herself as total redheaded outcast--always dressing in black, listening to punk/rock music, etc. Her older sister, Lucy, is the most popular girl (cheerleader, nonetheless) at her high school and is dating the guy of Sam's dreams, high school rebel, Jack Ryder. Sam's younger sister, Rebecca, is a genius who attends a special school for gifted children. Sam's life abruptly changes when she saves the president of the United States from an assassination...while cutting her art lessons. Not only does Sam receive a broken arm, but she also becomes famous when the president himself announces that she is teen ambassador to the UN. Things couldn't get worse, right? Wrong! Because now she thinks the president's own son, David, may be in love with her and all she wants is for Jack to love her!

OVERALL THOUGHTS: I'm a little old for Meg Cabot's teen books but I must say that I am always amazed by her well-written/described characters and witty sense of humor. This book is well-written, and should be enjoyed by all teenage girls. If you like romantic-comedy novels with a little bit of fantasy twisted into it, then you should definitely read "All-American Girl". The plots are always simple, straight-forward, and a little bit predictable but it doesn't matter because these books are too good not to read.

I highly recommend "All-American Girl" by Meg Cabot.

Score:
98/100

Summary: All-American Girl
Review: Samantha was never an average teenager. Then she saves the President from assination and becomes a national hero. Now she really isn't normal. She hates all the press that hide in her bushes and she hates now being the teen ambassador to the United Nations. She begins to date the President's son, David. Then David and Samantha break up because David finds that Samantha likes her sister's boyfriend, Jack. Samantha has such a crazy life she doesn't know who to ask for advise. She decides to ask her art teacher who gives her the best advise, to follow her heart. She does just that and everything works out in the end.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A Great Read For Teens
Review: This book was a great read. I read it in a totally of three days. As a big fan of Meg Cabot I was very excited to read her latest. After meeting her (which was really cool) she told me that if I enjoyed the Princess Diares as much as I made it sound she hoped that I liked this one. I can relate to Samantha Madison so much. I too often day dream of being like Gwen Stefini. It's a good book especially if you like her previous work!
