What this book is about
Mia Thermopolis, a lanky, academically struggling freshman in New York City, has enough to worry about. Then her father reveals that she is the heir to the throne of Genovia and must learn to be a princess with the help of her formidable Grandmère. Cabot's diary-format novel is brisk, funny, and self-aware—capturing the particular mortification of being a teenager with flair. The first in a ten-book series.
