All American Girl
Publisher: Macmillan Children's books
Teenager Sam is the All American Girl of the title, a privileged youngster with caring parents and two sisters, all of whom live in comfortable, middle-class Washington D.C.
One day, quite by chance, she just happens to save the life of the President. This brings her instant fame and changes her life in ways she never imagined; in the process she learns a lot about herself and those around her.
This very ‘girly’ book is full of talk about clothes, hairstyles and pop stars, but it also tackles the serious issues of loyalty and consideration of others. Fluffy and fun.
