Plot Summary: Samantha Madison is a 16-year-old girl who is a middle child and is one of the least popular girls in school. Her older sister Lucy, on the other hand, is one of the most popular girls in school. Lucy tells her parents about Sam’s celebrity drawings, and they force Sam to take art lessons. She skips her second class as an act of rebellion and she saves the president from an assassination attempt. All of a sudden she is invited to parties, asked to sit at the popular table, and everyone, even Kris Parks, listens to her. News reporters and journalists follow her wherever she goes, and the president appoints her as the teen ambassador to the UN. And on top of all that, the president’s son might have a crush on her.

Reader’s Opinion: It is a great book! If you like books that are funny and drama-filled, this is a book for you. I definitely recommend it.
