Booktalk:
Samantha Madison’s Top 10 Predicaments:
10- Middle child
syndrome... enough said.
9- Sam doesn’t
understand why her older sister, Lucy, is THAT popular.
8- Why did Sam’s
parents have to give her younger sister, Rebecca, all of the brains in the
family?
7- Jack, Lucy’s
boyfriend, is really more Sam’s type. When is he going to see that?
8- Sam is forced to
attend art classes as a type of punishment from her parents. This is their way
of cleaning up her act after wrongfully selling her celebrity drawings to
classmates.
7- Skipping art
class was a mistake. While doing this, the President of the United States is
right in front of Sam’s eyes, walking right into a bakery that is next to her
music store. The other guy that sees the President is not as shocked as Sam. He
planned on seeing him then and there. He also planned on killing the
President.
6- Sam is now in the
hospital after jumping on the attacker and knows that she just saved the
President’s life.
5- Sam is labeled a
national hero.
4- The President has
made Sam the teen ambassador.
3- The President’s
son, who is in her art class, has a crush on her.

on the President’s son.

love with Jack, her sister’s boyfriend.
