Mia Thermopolis is just an ordinary 9th grader. She's pretty flat-chested, and not great at Algebra, but otherwise happy enough in her normal life. So it comes as quite a surprise when Mia finds out that she is not an average combat boot-wearing high schooler, but, in fact, a princess.
Mia does not take this news well at first, especially when she finds out she is meant to travel to receive princess training from her critical grandmere, who travels from Genovia (her fictional kingdom) to instruct Mia in all things royal. Mia's life is suddenly transformed, and the girl who tried to hard to be ordinary and invisible now must reevaluate what is important, what it means to receive attention, and who her real friends are. There's a love story thrown in there too, for good measure.
Written as a series of journal entries, this book has an enjoyable, conversational writing style. Readers will enjoy witnessing Mia's transformation to a princes, and reading about the surprises along her journey. Straddling the tween/YA border, this deals with high school themes in a way that a range of readers will relate to.
