First Daughter: Extreme American Makeover Book

Sparrow was adopted from Pakistan at age 3 by an American couple in the Foreign Service. Now her father is running for president as a Republican and his staff is trying to figure out how his dark-complexioned and independent teenager fits into the campaign. At first Sparrow conforms to the campaign's expectations but as she gains confidence she decides it is important to her to share her voice with the country. In particular, she is proud of her blog and resents the moronic public blog created by a staffer for her public self.

I enjoyed this story although found Sparrow improbably mature and articulate. It also seemed unrealistic that her father could campaign and win the presidency immediately after a position in Brussels (not to mention that they left Sparrow behind when they moved back to the US!). An interesting contrast to Ellen Emerson White's series about Meg Powers.
