Cabot, Meg. The Princess Diaries. New York: HarperCollins Publishers Inc. 283 pages. (Romance)

Mia Thermopolis is a five-foot-nine geek. She is flunking algebra, her crush doesn’t even know she exists, and to top it all off her mom is dating her algebra teacher!!! One day she finds out her dad is coming to visit…and that he has cancer. No worries for her though because it can be treated. But when she visits him at the plaza hotel and thinks what is a normal lunch doesn’t turn out to be one. SHE IS THE PRINCESS OF GENOVIA!!!!!!!!!! And it turns out that she has to move to Genovia with her father! There, she will rule along with her father and go to a fancy college that is not her first choice. You might think she is excited…but think again she is NOT at all excited to become a princess. She tries to keep it from everyone as long as possible. But when she gets a makeover things change. Boys start liking her, teachers treat her as royalty, and her bestfriend Lily can visit the palace! Will she like this new life at all? Or will she become scared and chicken out on becoming a princess? Find out in the next book in the series!!!!

This book is such a page turner. Every time I flip the page I want to read more and more. It’s about an everyday girl becoming a princess; I mean who wouldn’t want to read that? This book also teaches you that if you believe in yourself you and do anything! It’s also funny and can make you giggle out loud. I definitely recommend this book to teenage girls because not only is it funny but it teaches you good lessons in life! So read this amazing, funny, fantasy book!!!!!
