"First Daughter: Extreme American Makeover" by Mitali Perkins follows the story of Samira, the daughter of the U.S. President. As she navigates the complexities of life in the White House, she grapples with the challenges of being in the public eye, cultural expectations, and the pressure to conform. When a reality TV show decides to feature her life, Samira faces the difficult choice of being true to herself or embracing the superficial changes that come with fame. Through her journey, she explores themes of identity, family, and the struggles of growing up under scrutiny, ultimately seeking to define her own path.
