The Princess Diaries Series - Book #1
I am currently reading a book called The Princess Diaries. It is part of a series by the same name. It is about a girl in high school named Mia who finds out she is the Princess of Genovia. How could she be a princess? She is an outcast at school, is five foot nine, only has one BFF, flat-chested, is flunking algebra, has no style, and her mom is dating her algebra teacher! So not cool. She is outraged at her parents for not telling her sooner. She is angry at her father the most because she barely sees him, and he never really comes to visit. Now that he is asking her to move to Genovia, it is a total no to her. Mia is reluctant to be a princess though. She is willing to decline her father's offer to become one. My favorite character is Mia because she is very firm about her decisions, and has an intriguing personality. The author of this novel is Meg Cabot. She has written many novels such as, the Allie Finkle Series, Avalon High, the All American Girl series, and Overbite. I love Meg Cabot's books because they are all so well-written, and exciting on every page. There are two movies about this series. After reading the beginning fragment of this novel, this is nothing like the movie. The movie skips some of scenes in the story. The novel however is like a diary, and the movie looks at it in a different aspect. If you are in for a fun, and spunky novel you should definitely read this book!

ReplyDeleteI am watching katrina read the third book, and I really want to start reading the first book. A few years ago I saw the movie, I liked it a lot. I liked how you explained who Mia was and her personality!

Yasmine,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great book! It is really interesting because you would expect Mia to be very excited about finding out that she is a princess. I guess she is just too rebellious to be a perfect princess. I really want to read this book because it seems to have a really good story and Mia sounds like a very funny character.

ReplyDeleteI have seen both the movies but I know that books usually are better than their movie companions. I might read this book because, you made it sound great! I always love your blogs!

ReplyDeleteI have read a version of this book. It's the same book, basically, with a different name. That book was good, but this one sounds better sinse it's the original. I would like to read this book asap!! I think I'll check it out in the library. I also have seen both of the movies and they were good, but then that means that the book must be better!!

ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you are enjoying these books. I have seen the movies like a million times and they are one of my favorites. I can not believe that the book could get any better than the movie! I still need to read the books but based on the movie Mia is deffinetly my favorite! I like the way you described the plot because it gives you an idea of what the book is about but at the same time dose not give to much away! Great Post!
