Review Detail

Reader reviewed by LJK

There is a streak of fantasy that runs through Meg Cabot's teen fiction in which ordinary girls wake up to discover that they're a princess, or, in this case, a national hero. And while this isn't entirely realistic (Sam sees a gunman that the secret service doesn't notice?), but who cares! All girls once had a fantasy like this, and what makes Cabot's story so great is that she reveals some of the drawbacks of sudden fame (a horrible school id photo on the national news) without spoiling the fun of the story. Girls of all ages will enjoy this book.
