About the Book

Just when Mia thought she had the whole Princess thing under control.

Things get out of hand, fast:

Since Mia's the brand-new crown princess of Genovia, indomitable dowager princess Grandmère arranges a national primetime interview for her. With just a few innocent remarks, Mia manages to enrage her best friend Lilly, practically get one of her teachers fired, and alienate the entire country of Genovia. (Population 30,000, but still!)

There's the havoc of the interview's aftermath and her dreaded princess lessons at the Plaza. Plus an unexpected announcement from her mother, and intriguing, exasperating letters from a secret admirer. Mia is swept up in a whirlwind of royal intrigue the likes of which hasn't been seen since volume I of The Princess Diaries.

What's an heir to the royal throne to do? But what's a girl to do when her name is PRINCESS AMELIA MIGNONETTE GRIMALDI THERMOPOLIS RENALDO?

Reviews

“The action is fast, furious, and laugh–out–loud funny… Through it all, Mia remains as smart, sassy, self–absorbed, worried, and wistful as ever.”
—ALA Booklist

“Cabot writes with a deft touch… Mia emerges as a vibrant girl who may become a good princess no matter how much she dislikes the prospect. Teenage girls will love it.”
