Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Melissa

This book, Ready or Not, is the sequel to the book All-American Girl. In the book All- American Girl, the main topic was about how Samantha Madison, the main character, saved the president's life from assassination. Samantha is now 16-years-old and is in junior high school. Samantha is ready to stop being the girl who saved the president's life, so she dyes her hair black to hide her identity. Samantha is invited to Camp David for Thanskgiving with the President's family. David wants to play Parchessi, which she thinks is another way of saying he wants to... DO IT. I'm not going to give away the whole story, you'll have to read it, but Samantha goes through many obstacles a normal teen goes through. Failing grades, sex, parent problems, etc. This book is wrote in the first person. All teen girls, and for this matter, all teen boys, think about these things sometime in their lives. If the author, Meg Cabot, hadn't touched upon this subject, it would have been an unrealistic view of a teenager's life. I think the age groups that would most likely read this is 12 and up. The setting is in Washington D.C. In this book you will learn the meaning of life drawing-- I didn't know what it meant. This book is hilarious, spunky, witty, and fun to read. I hope you read this book, I recommend it!!
