Product Description

Mia has hit an all-time low. Lilly isn’t speaking to her. Someone is posting horrible things about her on ihatemiathermopolis.com. Grandmere is forcing her to give a speech to two thousand of the most powerful businesswomen in America. And oh yeah: Michael, the love of her life, has dumped her.

But despite what the press seems to think, Mia has more on her mind than recruiting a new Prince Charming. Like solving a 400-year-old mystery that could mean BIG changes for little Genovia. But is Mia really ready to throw away her tiara – especially if it means destroying a dynasty?

Customer Reviews

Gone off the Princess Diaries? Well No.9 is a completely different story...
I bought this book with some trepidation. I have done nothing but moan about the quality of the previous eight books and have found Mia's self pity increasingly irritating. However, this book was a complete turnaround. Other characters started noticing her character flaws and she had to face up to situations and even grow up a little!

There was something quite addictive about this book, I think possibly the fact, that unlike with most of the series, you genuinely didn't know what was going to happen next. Will Mia and Lana finally become friends? Will Micheal take Mia back? The plot twists and turns and definitely holds your interest.

It didn't take me long to read, so my advice is borrow is from the library or source it through an amazon partner seller, but all in all definitely worth the trouble.

the series is back: better
The last volumes in the series were not very interesting: Mia's whining style and self-made tiny problems definitely failed to catch my attention. But this book is different and Mag Cabot is back at her best! After loosing Michael to Japan, Mia falls into deep depression and only in steps recovers her world. The break needs her to newly adjust in her surroundings and with her friends and foes, and many people are not what they have appeared to be. A time of changes and growing up begins - crowned by the ultimate example taht 16-year-olds can make a change in the world (not only writing about it, as the books before did)!

A wonderful book to give you self-assurance yourself while following Mia's development! Live does not rule you, but you can rule the world!

almost there...
plese don't read this review, if you haven't read the book as i don't want to spoil the plot for anyone! however, i have to say that this book (and the previous 2 for that matter) aren't as good as the first 6 in my opinion. where the book ends, i found myself being disappointed that all was not 'happily ever after.' In all honesty though, it just didn't end how i wanted it too/thought it should have, but then again, there's always book 10!
