"The Princess Diaries"

 The book I read is called “The Princess Diaries” by Meg Cabot. It’s a teen fiction.

“The Princess Diaries” is about a girl called Amelia Thermopolis, her nickname is Mia and she is 14 years old. She lived in New York City with her mother in building at modern days. Mia’s life changed completely when she received big news from her father. The news present that she is a princess of Genovia, a small country in Europe. After she got this news, her grandmother that Mia called Grandmére came to New York City to teach everyday princess lessons to Mia. Mia didn’t like her grandmother who made Mia be more mature and changed the type of clothes that she wore. During the events, Amelia started accepting more the idea of being a princess. Lilly is Mia’s best friend.  They disagreed a lot about the princess situation because Lilly was jealous of Mia. At the end of the book they apologize to each other and they were still friends, they talked about that they were friends since kindergarten and that the princess situation is not going to make them to not be friends anymore.

 What really made me be interested into reading this book was the way that the author shows how can a teenager’s life could be horrible, and everything bad could happen day after day to someone. In the book Mia acted like she was the only one having problems, she always asked why her and why not anyone else. She wrote on her diary “Why? Why?? Why??? I can’t even believe this is happening. I can’t believe this is happening to ME! Why? Why me??...”(p.219). Mia was being a drama queen, thinking that her problems didn’t have any solutions. At the end of the book the author showed the opposite presenting to any Mia’s problems a solution, as example she had a F in the Algebra that made Mia always upset but at the end her grade improved to a high D that made Mia the happiest girl ever.

 I think this book gives advice to teenage girls, who complain a lot about their lives. During the book the author presents the teenager life  doesn’t have to be so hard and sometimes it us girls who makes it even harder and harder but everyone goes through hard moments but those moments always go away, Meg Cabot’s main message is to be positive no matter what.

 I recommend this book to girls between 13-16 years old that are always complaining  or they can read just to have fun because it talks about love, drama, parties  those thing that  is happening all the time with girls of this age. Girls will love it.
