First Daughter: Extreme American Makeover

(4) 4-6 The adopted Pakistani daughter of the Republican presidential candidate, Sameera "Sparrow" Righton is told she must look and act more "American." Sparrow ignores the rules and expresses herself through her blog. The book is light, chatty, and full of pop culture references. It also presents tough issues of prejudice, free speech, and self-image, but ties everything up too neatly.
