All American Girl

By Meg Cabot

9.5/10

This book is about a really geeky rebel type girl called Sam (Samantha) and she saves the president from being assassinated. She does it by jumping on the back of the man holding the gun and ends up underneath him. So he lands on Sam's arm and she ends up with a broken wrist. She then ends up famous and her cheerleader sister makes her look better than she normally looks just minutes away from shaking the president's hand and having press conference. My favourite part is when she jumps on the guy's back to stop him killing the president because it's really descriptive.
