Annotation: Mia finds out that she is a princess and that one day, she would rule a land called Gonovia. Suddenly, she finds herself being recognized by everyone including her long time crush.

Summary: When Mia finds that she's a princess, she freaked! Now, everyone notices her and Josh, the most popular boy in school, has asked her to a dance. She is super excited but is Josh all that she thinks he is?

Critique: This book was bad and good. It was bad because she always sounded excited or mad or annoyed. It was good because it described her feelings.

Biography: Meg Cabot knows that one of the best cures for feeling gawky and conspicuous is reading about someone who sticks out even more than you do. Her books for young adults invariably feature girls who have extraordinary powers that carry extraordinary burdens. Cabot's Princess Diaries series offers up the secret thoughts of Mia Thermopolis, who discovers at age 14 that she is actually the princess of a small European country. This revelation adds significantly to her extant concerns about crushes, friendships, school, and other matters falling under adolescent scrutiny.
