This is a great story about one girl who is bullied and abused by her peers. Throughout all of her school years, 4th grade through high school she makes friends, does the right thing and her ‘friends’ betray her. Later on for the school reunions it turns out great. Everyone recognizes her as an adult because she became very successful. She is then happier with her life and knows that she made the right decisions.

I recommend this book to people who have ever been bullied or abused before. It may be a little difficult to read but is defiantly worth it. Also, to people who have ever bullied or abused other people. They can finally realize what they are doing or did to their peers. They can see how it feels for them. This book has a lot of feeling and meaning to it and is one of those books that every person needs to read in their lifetime. It has really touched me because of my life experiences.

All-American Girl

All-American Girl
By Meg Cabot
Reading Level: 5.9
Points: 11.0
Fiction
Samantha Madison is an artist who lives in Washington D.C. and she wishes her life would change. She's secretly in love with her sister's boyfriend, has a C- in German, and is forced to take an art class with Susan Boone. But one day Sam skips art class to save the president's life and meets his cute son who is actually in one of her classes. Sam's wish might have came true after all.

I would reccomend this book to girls who want a great book that is a quick read even though it's almost 400 pages long! All-American Girl is great if you like adventure, romance, comedy, and an average girl's life turned upside down. This book is also an easy way to get 11 points for the third quarter. So next time you go to the library you should look this book up.
