The Princess Diaries

Mia Thermopolis is pretty sure there’s nothing worse than being a five-foot-nine, flat-chested freshman, who also happens to be flunking Algebra. Is she ever in for a surprise. First Mom announces that she’s dating Mia’s Algebra teacher. Then Dad has to go and reveal that he is the crown prince of Genovia. And guess who still doesn’t have a date for the Cultural Diversity Dance? *The Princess Diaries* is the first book in the beloved, bestselling series that inspired the feature film starring Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews. (**Note to parents:** The books have much more mature content than the movies.)
