Princess Diaries

In the Princess Diaries, Mia Thermopolis is just thinking she is a regular freshman at Ablted Einstein high school. Then everything changes her life for good. Because her father has come to town to have a talk with Mia about something important. As they were talking she found out that she was the Princess of Genovia and if he was the prince than that makes her the princes of that country. So then she got all upset went in to the plaza were she paid the lady $5 to go to the bathroom so she could calm down. Then shuttle after that she diced to ask her self how dose the princes thing work out. Then her dad said that he would talk about seeing her for lesson. So she could be ready to take the thrown of the county . so Mia now is taking lesson and math lesson and has found it very rough. I think if the outcome is that she may not take the thrown and will just become normal. I would recommend it for some one to read because it teachers you a good lesson oh who you really are. That is what I think of the Princes Diaries book.

I want to be a Princess!!!

I really enjoyed reading this book. At first I had no idea what it was about.I have seen the Princess Diary movies so I sort of had and idea of what it was gonna be about.It what somewhat like the movie but different too. This book is a guide to being a princess. In the movie Amelia is an average teenage girl and all of a sudden her life changes because she has less then 3 months to become a princes. Somethings changed for her. Like the way she dresses and even the way she ete at a table and this book tells you about how to's of a princess. I got a lot of boy advice from this book because it is true. It also includes many beauty care advice, fashion tip and just things to make a teenager a better person and rules they could live their days by. I would reccomend this to teenage girls who just like to have fun and need a tip here and there and to people who liked reading or seeing the Princess Diary movies.

Your Passport to Becoming a Princess

Princess Lessons, written by Meg Cabot, is a book about proper etiquette for a princess. The main character of the book, Mia Thermopolis, is getting some good advice on how to become a princess from her grandmother. This book was very interesting; I really liked it! It teaches you a lot about proper etiquette. It almost makes you feel like you are going to an etiquette school. Health, beauty, taking care of yourself, and just the right clothes and jewelry really do make a princess. This book keeps your attention the whole entire time you read it. My favorite part of this book is when Paolo (one of the stylists for Mia's hair and make-up) turns her into a real princess almost right "off the street." It was a lot of work! As far as recommending this book, I would say this is a great book to read! I think all teen and pre-teen girls should read this book. Once you are finished with this book, you will want to start brushing up your etiquette to become a princess!

"Princess Lessons" features tips on beauty, etiquette, fashion, character, education, and guys. But that's not the best part, all of these important Princess-like tips are given to us not only by Princess Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo, a.k.a. Mia Thermopolis, but by her friends and relatives, including Grandmere, Sebastiano, Paolo, Lily, Tina, and the Princess' boyfriend himself, Michael.Not only is PRINCESS LESSONS a small book that you can tote with you all over the world, but it is the only PRINCESS DIARIES books that features illustrations. Beautiful ilustrations. This is a must have book for all PRINCESS DIARIES fans, especially those who are collectors of all of Cabot's work.

Quick and enjoyable (but optional) addition to the series

Princess Lessons is to the Princess Diaries books as the Harry Potter Schoolbooks are to the Harry Potter series: a quick read that is both entertaining and enjoyable, but not plot-advancing or groundbreaking. And that's okay.This book is clearly aimed at the young teen and pre-teen audience that has formed around the Princess Diaries series. In addition to the fun humor that we've come to expect from Meg Cabot, there are some not-so-subtle bits of guidance that older readers will spot immediately. It seems very well directed for the younger readers, though, and is good advice. For instance, the overriding theme of the book is that it never hurts to behave like a princess even if you aren't one, and it's most important to be yourself.The book includes practical advice on health, beauty, and clothes, though it should, of course, be taken with a grain of salt, coming as it does from the characters Paolo, Grandmere, and Sebastiano.The light feel is complemented by the illustrations, which are charmingly stylistic and make good use of the two-color layouts. Many books of this type and length leave readers annoyed at the lack of substance, but Princess Lessons uses its format well and will be much enjoyed as a quick, fun read by the young fans of the series.
