" WHAT? A PRINCESS?? ME??? Yeah. Right." - Mia Thermopolis

The Princess Diaries is a great new young adult novel that is entertaining, and not at all contrived. In the Princess Diaries, Mia discovers that her father, whom she sees rarely, is the prince of a small country, which means Mia is a princess! Her father's mother decides that Mia needs to be groomed for the position of princess, which entails lessons on manners, foreign relations, current events, and other issues that Mia could care less about. This story is a hilarious look at how Mia deals with her newly-discovered royal status, and how everyone around her treats her because of it. Entertaining, well-written, and fun! By: Christy



" Your grandmother is just trying to prepare you, Mia." - Helen Thermopolis. I was recommended this book by my cousin, and was interested because I know that Disney now has a movie version of it. The book's plot centers around Mia Thermopolis' diary entries each day, things that every average teenage girl writes and worries about like that horrible popular girl (Lana Weinberg, in this book) and that amazingly handsome guy that never seems to notice you. Mia thinks that her life is about as bad as it gets, failing algebra, her mother DATING her teacher, etc. Then comes along the big news from Mia's father. He is a prince of Genovia, a small but rich country, and she is the one and only heir to the throne, making her Princess Amelia. All of a sudden, Mia finds the popular people dying to sit with her at lunch, and the guy she has been dreaming of for months sitting right next to her, smiling. Could it all be a dream?

The youtube video.This video relates to my book because it tells all the main points about the book. The video would make me want to read the book because it has very interesting points and has all the drama from a highschool stand point. The video is a great decision maker to find a very entertaining book that will keep you hooked until you finished the book.The video relates to my book because it has all the very important events in the book that would make you want to read the book in it. If I saw the video it would help make my decision for which book I would want to read any day. The video shows the main character and all the big things like finding out she was a princess, and realizing that she is the heir to the throne of Genovia. Genovia is a small country and her dad is the prince so she becomes the heir to the throne if something happens to her grandmother.

Pictures:

The first picture is the quadratic formula. The quadractic formula relates to my book because Mia Thermopolis ,the main character, mother is dating her algebra teacher. Algebra is the subject she was currently failing because she didn't understand what all the numbers and letters were for. Mia was struggling with algebra so Mia's mother had to have a conference with her teacher and ended up getting a date with him. Mia always found it akward when she had review sessions with Mr.Gianni when he was dating her mother and over at her house for dinner and such. Mia was not so thrilled when she came home after spending the night at Lilly's and found Mr. Gianni at her house having breakfast with her mom after spending the night at Mia's house.Mia has Michael help her with her algebra after what happened at her house and Michael helped her pass.

The second picture is a tiara. The tiara relates to my book because Mia becomes the princess of Genovia. Mia when she is done with school this year she will move to Genovia and learn all the duties that she will have to perform as princess. Mia's grandmother has to give Mia princess lessons so she can be ready to take the throne. Mia has a lot of work to do before she can become the princess and her grandmother is teaching her the basics. Mia's grandmother is teaching Mia what she does as Queen of Genovia so Mia can prepare for what comes next in her life. Mia doesn't like that she is becoming a princess out of all the pretty girls at her school. Why her, thats the question Mia asks herself a lot because she just can't believe that she is going to be a princess. Mia made a lot of different friends after they found out that she was a princess. Mia made friends with girls that would never be her friend unless they are somebody like a princess.

Quotes:

The first quote is I don't want to rule my own country, I just want to pass the tenth grade. I picked this quote because Mia doesn't like that the fact that she is failing algebra and no one likes her so why add a tiara. Mia thinks there are a whole lot of prettier people in the world and just her luck her dad is the prince of Genovia. Lilli is shocked that Mia is a princess and that is why she didn't help her film her segment against the Ho's Deli. Lilly now realizes that she needs to apologize about argueing with Mia when Mia told Lilly that she couldn't get out of hanging out with her grandmother. When Mia couldn't get out of hanging out with her grandmother because Mia was really having princess lessons so she could eventually rule the small country of Genovia. Mia is happy that Michael started helping her with algebra so she could end up with a D.

The second quote is What? A PRINCESS? ME? Yeah. Right. I picked this quote because Mia is really unsure of if she really wants to be the princess of her own country. Mia's thinking why does her dad have to be prince out of all the other kids fathers who would have kids who would be a better princess than her. Mia was really shocked when her dad told her the news about him being the prince of Genovia and she is the heir of the throne. She couldn't believe what her dad was saying and actually ran out of the plaza because she didn't believe what he was saying. Mia ended up going to Lilly's to think about what her dad said and could it really be true that she is princess of Genovia. Mia's parents were not very happy with her for disobeying them and spending the night at Lilly's when they said No. Mia is in total shock about everything.

The third quote is Your grandmother is just trying to prepare you, Mia. I picked this quote because Mia doesn't like having princess lessons with her grandmother and complains about it every time she comes home from the lessons. Mia's mother told Mia this because Mia needs to learn that her grandmother is just trying to help her prepare for the future of Mia being princess. Mia realizes in the end that having princess lessons with her grandmother are not going to be that bad after all because her granmother understands what she is going through. Mia is happy because her grandmother is going to be gone for two weeks which means no princess lessons for two weeks. Mia doesn't care that she has to have Lars follow her around everywhere because he is not in her personal space and he enjoys talking to Tina's bodyguard. Mia's mother helped Mia realize what her grandmother was trying to do.
