yapha 's review for:

From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess by Meg Cabot

3.0

---

It's the Princess Diaries stories for a younger crowd! Olivia suddenly finds out that her father is the Crown Prince of Genovia and her half-sister is Princess Mia Thermopolis, whose story she has followed for the last few years, never imagining that she would end up with a similar fate. My only confusion is that they reference the Princess Diaries stories as if the reader would be familiar with them, but the intended audience wouldn't have read them yet. I suppose they might have seen the movies, though. Cute and fun. Recommended for grades 3-6.
