This weeks Throwback is...
All American Girl by Meg Cabot!
Goodreads:
Samantha Madison is an average, cool Washington, D.C., teen: She loves Gwen Stefani (who doesn't?), can draw like nobody's business, and enjoys being opposite to her sister's annoying ultra-social personality. But when she ditches art class one day, she doesn't expect to be jumping on the back of a wannabe presidential assassin. Soon the young hero is receiving worldwide acclaim for her bravery, having dinner with her family at the White House, and is even being named teen ambassador to the UN. As if this weren't enough, she and David, the president's son, strike up a friendship that everyone wants the dirt on, which starts to give her romantic "frisson" feelings. Unfortunately, Sam thinks her sister's boyfriend, Jack, is the true love of her life, and she makes a few wrong turns that could screw up what she's developing with David. Will she ever stop following what she knows and start following what she sees?
This book is one of those stories that just keeps on giving. Totally mind grabbing. I loved this story as I was growing up. It spoke bounds to me, and Samantha set a great example of the kind of person I should be. She had her rocky moments, but don't we all. It was what she accomplished in the end that really showed me something. I really loved this book and I am sure you will too!
That is it for this weeks throwback! Leave a link with your own!
