Princess Diaries 1

By: Meg Cabot

This teen comedy from Disney is based on a popular novel by Meg Cabot. Mia is a teenage klutz who's openly mocked by the popular Lana Thomas. In fact, Mia's only friend at her exclusive prep school is the socially outcast Lilly. Mia's life takes a dramatic turn, however, when her mom announces that her late biological father was in actuality the crown prince of a small European nation, Genovia. Now Mia is the sole heir to the throne, and her grandmother, Queen Clarisse Renaldi wants to tutor the awkward teen in royal behavior. It's a daunting task given Mia's lax table manners, poise, and hair care, but the girl perseveres with some makeover help from her grandmother's security chief and a style expert. In the meantime, Mia's romantic affections are torn between the handsome, popular Josh and the more appropriate Michael, who also happens to be Lilly's brother. The Princess Diaries is a great book and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading funny novels! The author truly does have a gift of writing and has a great way of expressing it! There is more than one book which is very exciting for me!!!!
