Princess in Love by Meg Cabot

Being a 14-year-old girl is hard enough. But ruling a whole country is even harder. In PRINCESS IN LOVE, Mia Thermopolis is soon to be Princess of Genovia. The book tells about Mia's princess lessons with her grandma, her struggling Algebra grade, and her huge crush on Michael, her best friend's brother. The part that grabbed me most was the fact that Mia loved Michael all her life. She tried numerous ways to get him to notice her. But in the end, Michael had already liked her from the beginning. I also liked the development of Mia's character, how she went from being a dorky fourteen-year-old girl to Princess of Genovia. Chessa H.
