There’s no doubt in my mind that I’ll be picking up The Diaries of a Middle School Princess, just to catch up with Mia Thermopolis and see how she’s doing after all these years. I know this book is aimed at middle grade readers, but honestly I read every single book in the original Princess Diaries series, despite the fact that the last book didn’t come out until I was twenty-one. It was released in 2000 by Harper Collins Publishers, and later became a film of the same name starring Anne Hathaway. A dream come true, right? But princesses have problems too. The Princess Diaries is the first volume of the series of the same name by Meg Cabot.

But she never could have imagined how out of place she really was until Mia Thermopolis, Princess of Genovia, pops into her school and announces that Olivia is her long-lost sister. The Princess Diaries is the diary of Mia Thermopolis, a fifteen-year-old freshman at the fictional Albert Einstein High School (A.E.H.S.), a private school in New York City.

Brought up by her aunt’s family in New Jersey, book-and-music-loving Olivia feels out of place in their life of high fashion and fancy cars. Olivia Grace Clarisse Harrison has always known she was different. 1 1700 by Meg Cabot (Author) 459 ratings Book 10 of 11: The Princess Diaries See all formats and editions Kindle Edition 11.99 Read with Our Free App Audiobook 0.00 Free with your Audible trial Hardcover from 149.58 1 Used from 152.74 3 New from 149.58 Paperback 5.76 7 Used from 5.76 1 New from 73.
