A freshman’s unexpected royal news

Mia Thermopolis is juggling familiar high-school concerns—Algebra, dating, and fitting in—when her father reveals that he is Genovia’s crown prince. The contrast between Mia’s everyday school life and her newly disclosed royal connection gives the opening installment its central premise. The description also foregrounds self-esteem and self-reliance, alongside social pressures such as a school dance and a parent’s relationship with a teacher. As the first book in a series, it introduces Mia and the circumstances that reshape her sense of who she is.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in high-school social life and self-esteem themes.
  • Readers who enjoy stories that bring royal identity into an everyday school setting.
  • Those looking to start Meg Cabot’s Princess Diaries series.

Book overview

The first book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot.

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. Beautifully repackaged in paperback, this title will appeal to new readers as well as fans looking to update their collection.
