Product Description

Mia is about to turn fifteen – and can't wait to dance the night away with Michael at the biggest, most romantic event of her life so far: the senior prom! But nothing's going according to plan. Not only does Mia face a snoozefest summer of sceptre-wielding in Genovia. Even worse is the fact that Michael hasn't even INVITED Mia to the prom at all. Hello, what is going on here? Just as Mia comes up with a perfect plan to change her man's mind, disaster strikes. A disaster that only a genius like Grandmere can overcome. . .

Customer Reviews

havoc in Princess Mia land
If you ever fancy a light read, little effort yet plausible entertainment, the Princess Diaries books would be the way to go. Like watching a teen flick, you can expect some friendship problems, parental problems, a mad-cap grandparent, high school drama and the prom - just your average American teenage life crisis. In this chapter, Mia is in desperate search for self-actualization, she is eagerly awaiting the prom, that is if Michael will hurry up and ask her to it, Mia's mum is pregnant with Mr G's baby, Lilly finally gets her shot on prime time tv in the most outrageous circumstances, whilst all hell breaks loose in the city, no thanks to Grandmere. It is childish, somewhat dramatised but delightfully funny.

Meg Cabot should be rakin' in the loot!
Mia Thermopolis has just reached her 15th birthday, a tough time in any girls life, but very much more so for Mia, not just because her mother is pregnant with her algebra teacher's (Mia's, not her mum's!) baby, or the fact that the prom is fast approaching, no, what takes the biscuit is that Mia is the heir to the throne of a small country! What with making out in closets and getting to "second base", Meg Cabot really does cover everything that's on a 15 year olds mind! A great, comfortable read.

The fifth instalment of Mia's ever-popular diaries
Princess Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo's (or just Mia to her friends) diaries have reached their fifth instalment, and while admittedly it is more of the same as the previous books, there is also plenty of room for the characters to develop. As her fifteenth birthday approaches, we watch Mia grow to realise her gift for writing, wrestle with the torment of her boyfriend's unwillingess to go to his senior prom and become a big sister. The other characters get a look in too - Lily Moscovitz reveals her inner minx, Tina Hakim Baba turns into a modern-day Jane Eyre and even Boris Pelkowski displays a surprisingly passionate nature. The books still keep you hooked as you smile, laugh and cry along with Mia and her buddies, but I still couldn't shake the feeling of deja vu. You could do worse than spending a few hours reading this, but it isn't exactly a classic. The first three are a lot better.
