520 _aDuring her father's presidential campaign, sixteen-year-old Sameera Righton, who was adopted from Pakistan at the age of three, struggles with campaign staffers who want to give her a more "all-American" image and create a fake weblog in her name.
_bShes short, shes spunky, shes just a regular girlSameera-Sparrow to her friends-is used to feeling invisible. But all that is about to change. As her fathers presidential campaign heats up, Sameera trades in her summer vacation for a crash course in becoming a celebrity. Step 1: Fabulous Makeover, of course!As it turns out, the makeover is amazing. But some of the campaign staff arent content with a trendy haircut, stilettos and designer outfits. Theyve decided to package Pakistan-born, plain-speaking Sameera as Sammy Righton-a giggly, carefree, all-American girl. No more wearing comfy jeans and sneakers, dancing the bhangra or blogging from the heart-in other words, Sameera must forget about being herself.What they dont know is that Sameera has a mind of her own. And plenty to say. Not to mention a gutsy, straight-talking blog that could go live to millions...
