From Average Teen to Princess: Mia's Royal Journey Begins!

The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot is the enchanting first book in the beloved series that inspired the smash-hit Disney film starring Anne Hathaway. When Mia Thermopolis's dad reveals a shocking secret – she's actually Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo, Princess of Genovia – her ordinary life as a New York teenager takes a whirlwind turn.

Thrust into the world of royalty, Mia must navigate etiquette lessons from her snobby grandmother, glamorous makeovers, and fancy gala balls, all while juggling maths homework, a school bully, and a crush on a boy who doesn't even know she exists. As Mia grapples with her newfound princess status, she can't help but think this royal life is utterly absurd!

Filled with humour, heart, and a sprinkle of teen romance, The Princess Diaries is a delightful coming-of-age tale that will charm young readers. The fun continues in the second book, A Royal Disaster.
