The Princess Diaries, by Meg Cabot

Ever feel like you don’t fit in? Ever feel like you’re invisible? That’s exactly how Mia Thermopolis feels everyday until the day her father tells her that she is a princess, in The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot! Everything changes after that. Her only wishes were to be a shorter, prettier, curvier and being… nothing more. From a “freak”, she becomes a princess and is forced to take princess lessons with her grandmere (grandmother), which she totally hates. Furthermore, her mother goes out with her Algebra teacher. In other words, her life is not the best. This book is really funny. Even though every girl’s dream is to become a princess, she totally hates it. There are a total of 13 volumes of this series. I don’t recommend this book to boys, but to teenager girls that like drama stories. I like this book also because it tells a story of a princess from a rich European country whom is displayed as an average girl with a lot of problems in her life.
-Reviewed by AD, grade 9.
