“The Princess Diaries” book is written by Meg Cabot in 2000. The book is the second book in the series and there’s six more. The film “The princess diaries 2”, is telling about the same princess, but it’s not related to the film.
The book has written like a diary. The princess, Mia, is writing a diary about her daily life and the reader gets to know her very well. She writes thoroughly about her many akward moments that happens every day and her feelings about other people. The reader gets to know all the things that she has done in that day.
Mia was a shy and normal girl and many of her school didn’t know her. One day her grandmother (called granmere), told her that her father is a prince of Genovia and she is a princess. After that, Mia’s life changed and she always has a few bodyguards with her and Mia goes everywhere with a limusin. Mia has to learn to cope with puplic life because she has a lot of interwievs in TV. Sometimes they don’t go as they should and she starts talking about weird things. And for example, she prematurely announces in national TV the secret that her mother is pregnat. She tries to adapt to princess life but sometimes she wants to be that normal girl who she has been before.
The main characters of the film are Princess Mia and her best friend Lilly which Mia tells important things and secrets. Lilly is a flashy person and she always cheers Mia up. Other characters are Lilly’s brother Michael who is Mia’s secret crush and Mia’s mother and grandmother. Mia has different relationships with all of them and she tries to get agreement with all. Sometimes she doesn’t know how to combine princess life with normal life. It was easy to me identify with Mia because she is the same age girl as I am. And she has the same problems as we all teenagers have, except the princess thing.
The book was really easy and nice to read because the glossary of the text was easy. And if I didn’t understand some word, it didn’t matter because I still got the point. Maybe if I haven’t seen the films of “The Princess Diaries”, it could have been harder to read. I would recommend the book to teenage girls because they can identify with the main character best.
