Extreme American Makeover

Mitali Perkins was born in Kolkata, then lived in Cameroon, Ghana, Mexico, London and New York before settling in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she studied political science at Stanford University and public policy at U.C. Berkeley. Her books include Monsoon Summer, The Not-So-Star-Spangled Life of Sunita Sen, Rickshaw Girl, The Secret Keeper and Bamboo People. She now lives in Newton, Massachusetts, with her husband and sons, and ruminates about life,

Sameera—Sparrow to her friends—is used to feeling invisible. But all that is about to change. As her father’s 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 aren’t content with a trendy haircut, stilettos and designer outfits. They’ve 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 don’t 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…
