This was an ARC that I was given. Here's my review.
Not having read any of the six or seven earlier Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot, I had no preconceived ideas of what to expect.I did realize that the book was geared to young teens,not old grandmothers.A little background would have helped.Was Mia a real princess,were her parents divorced, was her baby brother in fact a half brother? However the story moved along quickly with several unique characters,noteably Grandmere.Upper case print and excessive use of exclaimation marks was slightly annoying,but this did help to show the excitement or the stress of any given situation. Meg Cabot will likely continue to produce more diaries to the delight of her followers.

I sent this book to Morgail this morning by Canada Post. I tucked it in with a bookray that she was next in line for as a RABCK. I am fairly sure that she had some of the Princess Diaries on her wish list. Hopefully she will like this one.

Arrived today with a bookray book. Thanks so much, kayjay33! I've been wanting to read one of these books:)

Great book! This is the first of the "Princess" books I've read, and I really enjoyed it. The book had me laughing out loud at several points. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the rest of the books in this series.

I'm sending this tomorrow to MsPooh in Texas as a surprise RABCK. It was on her wish list & I hope she doesn't have a copy yet.
Heeheehee...I feel so sneaky:)

Thank you so much. I have not been to the PO in almost forever, and this was a great surprise waiting for me.

Princesses just want to have fun.

And Mia does too, despite the fact that the student government over which she presides is suddenly broke. But Grandmère's got a wacky scheme to raise the money, catapult Mia to theatrical fame, and link her romantically with an eligible teen bachelor who's not her boyfriend. No wonder Michael seems to think she's a psycho, or worse: not much fun. Is it possible that Mia, soon-to-be star of the stage, president of the student body, and future ruler of Genovia, doesn't know how to party?

I was not as impressed with this one as other diary reads. But that that doesn't mean I will give up on them.
