The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot

    I'm pretty sure everyone knows either the movie or the book The Princess Diaries. The book is about a girl named Mia Thermopolis who lives in NYC with her artist mother. She's just starting freshman year with her best friend Lilly Moscovitz. Her father who lives in Genovia comes to visit and share big news with Mia which is that he is actually the Prince of Genovia which means Mia is the princess of Genovia. This news obviously changes her life so she has to learn to be a princess while also going through the normal high school drama.

    I really enjoyed the book but I am so glad I saw the movie first because the movie was so much better. At times Mia in the book just seemed to complain a bit too much but in the movie she didn't annoy me at all. Another thing is the grandmother was nicer in the movie than in the book. I liked the nicer grandmother over the meaner one. Julie Andrews played the grandmother amazingly in the movie! She was perfect, charming, graceful, and sweet. Sweet grandmothers are obviously better than rude old ladies. Of course the movie wouldn't have happened without the book. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the book and it was a bit different then the movie.

 

 



As you can tell this book is very old. It's from when the book first came out. I found it in a box of my sister's old books which I think got damaged in a flood.  When I get home from this trip I'm on, I will certainly be grabbing the next book in the series to read. Now excuse me while I go watch the movie.
