ALL AMERICAN GIRL by Meg Cabot

Samantha Madison in the book, All American Girl, is getting a D in her German class. She has been caught drawing celebrity portraits the in class which is negatively affecting her grade. When her parents find out about her drawings they force her to take art classes with the artist, Susan Boone. Samantha wants to protest her classes so she decides to skip one of them. When caught skipping her art class, right before her eyes a man with a gun is aiming at the head of the president of the United States. Samantha doesn’t know what to do and she jumps on the man’s back. She is now a hero to the whole world and named Teen Ambassador of the UN. My favorite part was when Samantha was in the hospital with a broken arm and all the sudden the staff comes in with balloons, bears and flowers from presidents and world country leaders all around the world. When the security guard comes in and says “Sorry, the fruit baskets aren’t up here yet they’re still going through security, you never know what people might stick in them” Samantha and her mom looked at each other since the room was practically filled from top to bottom with other gifts. To figure out how Samantha gets through her life being a hero and teen ambassador of the UN, read All American Girl, by Meg Cabot.
