Reviewer: Sarah A. '12

All American Girl is about a girl who has an older popular sister and a younger ingenious sister. This girl struggles because she thinks she is in love with her sister's boyfriend. No one really cares about her besides her parents. After her parents find out she has been hustling kids for drawings of them with celebrities, they make her go to art classes with a teacher she doesn't like (in the beginning), and the President's son (whom she doesn't know is the President's son). Then, she saves the President's life and becomes a celebrity herself. This book keeps a steady pace, and is full of a lot of surprises.

Samantha Madison (Sam for short) had the worst life.  Her older sister is the most popular girl in school, and her younger sister is a genius.  Sam just hates her life.  But when she saves the president from assassination, her whole life is changed.  She is appointed the teen ambassador of the UN!  Soon she is more popular than her sister!  She is pretty overwhelmed with all the work she has to do.  There are many scary situations that happen in her experience.  The one that mostly scared was that the presidents son might be in love with her.  Is the presidents son really in love with her, and can she keep up with her new job?  Read All American Girl to find out.

Sam Madison has no idea that when she starts selling her celebrity portraits at her school, that it will change her life. When her older sister Lucy (The most popular girl in school) tells her parents about the portraits Sam is forced to take art classes. Sam is furious at this news. Art is supposed to come from your heart! It's supposed to be your own creativity! Not what Susan Boones art studio tells you to do! So what is Sam supposed to do? She decides to do what every mature adult would do -  She skips class. While she is waiting to be picked up from art classes (or from skipping them), she saves the president from an assassination attempt and suddenly everyone thinks she is a hero! All she did was jump on some guy's back!

  I recommend this book to people who like interesting books and books that are never light on adventure. You also have to be able to keep track of many things in this story.

This book is about a girl who saves the President from being killed. I liked this book because it shows that girls can do as much as boys can.

Sam Madison is a 15 year old girl who saves the President's life.  Now she has press conferences, eats dinner in the White House, and is named Teen Ambassador of the U.N..  And on top of that, the President's son just may be in love with her.
 
I recommend this book to anyone who likes funny, exciting books.  I would rate this book a 10 out of 10 because it is serious, funny, and suspenseful.

All American Girl is about a 15 year old girl that saves the president of the U.S.A. from being killed.  After she saves him she is like a movie star and everyone wants to be her friend.  She has to do interviews on TV and even gets to be Teen Ambassador of the U.S.A.  The only problem is the President's son might like her and she likes him but she blows it when she is with him at a party.

This book is so good and is really exciting to read. I rate it a 10 out of 10, because I just couldn't put it down. I recommend this to people who like exciting books with lots suspense.
