The Princess Diaries - (Princess Diaries, 1) by Meg Cabot (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The one and only Mia Thermopolis is back and ready to reign! Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Meg Cabot's blockbuster series in royal style--with all-new middle grade editions of the first three books!

Mia Thermopolis is pretty sure there's nothing worse than being a five-foot-nine, flat-chested freshman, who also happens to be flunking Algebra. Is she ever in for a surprise.

First Mom announces that she's dating Mia's Algebra teacher. Then Dad has to go and reveal that he is the crown prince of Genovia. And guess who still doesn't have a date for the Cultural Diversity Dance?

The Princess Diaries is the first book in the beloved, bestselling series that inspired the feature film starring Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews.
