Of all the Princess books this is one of my lest favorites. I'm not sure why I'm irritated by Mia growing up, but I feel at times I want to slap her for being stupid.

Mia, now student body president, has to balance: her boyfriend (who she thinks wants a grown up party girl), her financially depleted student body, and her grandmother's shenanigans by starring in the musical her grandmother wrote. Once again, fun and funny, but must be in the state of mind for it.

Oh, and Ms. Cabot would you please hook up Mia's father for the love of Pete?!

I'm asking myself why am I still reading these? All I can recall is that I wanted to reach through the book and smack Mia upside her head.

I reccomend this book to mostly girls because it is about girls that are popular and they are with friends hanging out. I love this book so much and i think people should read this book because it is fun to read!=]

This broke away from the formula a little bit, Mia's major drama with Michael came to a head in the middle of the book, and Mia was not the centre of his universe - it turns out Michael has an emotional life other than just being Mia's boyfriend. And a new boy joins the lunch table.

It was written like a real diary, and she use lately words. So I felt a sense of closeness. Her behavior is interesting. Because I hear this book continue, I want to read next book.

I really hated Michael in this. He's so pushy about the whole sex thing. If Mia isn't ready (which she very obviously won't be for a while, how can he expect her to attach a date to when she will be ready? Lilly is equally obnoxious, though not nearly as much as usual. I love the 'addition' of JP

and think he would be much better suited to Mia than Michael (who has nothing in common with Mia.

I remember reading this series when I was so young in high school, I remember finishing homework and pretending to go to bed to read until falling asleep and sometimes reading them during math class. My mom always got them to me since I loved the movie so much. Great series for teenagers and girls

Another book done in the Princess Diaries series. These books are so easy to read and complete, the writing style is quirky and since they are diary entries, like I have mentioned before, they are not always full pages of reading.

In this installment, Mia has to use her problem solving skills to

fix a broken student government, figure out why her boyfriend wants to have a party, and why her best friend and brother have been acting so strange. All the while dealing with more of her grandmother's crazy schemes.

There was a lot of growth for Mia here - learning about herself and how people get what they want. She questions her idea of self-actualization that she has been trying to achieve up until this point, and I think that she is starting to realize that she can be herself and accomplish things.

Like always the problems Mia faces in this book are both normal for a teen but also so over the top since she is a princess but it was funny and I am still enjoying these books.

So, while this story explained a bit of Lilly's behavior, I don't think it excuses it. She's still really abrasive and downright mean to Mia.
That aside, I did love the book. The group of friends Mia has gains a new face. I love that Mia becomes braver and more accepting of people the more she

matures in her role as princess. The relationship with Michael has a bit of a struggle again, but easily fixed in spite of Mia's overactive imagination. I enjoyed the fact that in her own twisted way, Grandmere was able to help Mia out of her school dilemma, even if it also helped herself out of her own dilemma. I'm excited to see what the next book has in store.
