The Princess Diaries, Volume II:
Princess in the Spotlight by Meg
Cabot
Cornwall, Ny Sixth Grader
Fifteen-year-old Mia Thermopolis, the witty, lovable star of Meg Cabots
The Princess Diaries, has had it with princess lessons, also known as
torture sessions: Do they really think anyone in Genovia cares whether I
know how to use a fish fork? Or if I can sit down without getting wrinkles
in the back of my skirt? Or if I know how to say thank you in Swahili?
Shouldnt my future countrymen be more concerned with my views on the
environment? And gun control? And overpopulation? To make matters
worse, shes getting these lessons from Grandmère, a rather judgmental
woman who dresses her pet in chinchilla bolero jackets and has eyeliner
permanently tattooed on her eyelids. Princess in the Spotlight further
records Mias path to princessdom: her artist mothers relationship with her
algebra teacher (how awkward), her forced television interview, broadcast
to all of America (how humiliating), and her crush on her best friend Lillys

brother Michael (how excruciating). The result is another thoroughly
entertaining diary of a very human, very self-deprecating, very
unprincesslike princess. (Ages 12 and older) --Karin Snelson
Personal Review: The Princess Diaries, Volume II: Princess in
the Spotlight by Meg Cabot
I am a sixth grader. I read the book Princess in the Spotlight the second
Princess Diaries. This book is by Meg Cabot. In this book, Mia, gets a big
surprise. But when her mom tells her the surprise, Mia isn't too happy. But
this surprise leads to another. You see, Mia's mother is still dating Mia's
algebra teacher, Mr. Gianini. So now Mr.G will be moving in with Mia and
her mom plus Mia's mom is marring Mr.G!! Mia is so shocked when she
hears this news. She is still shocked to hear the first surprise her mother
told her. So now Mia is thinking that it is not going to be fun having her
algebra teacher living with her. But after a few weeks of thinking about it
and finding out that Mr.G has a fooze ball table and a pin ball machine she
decides that living with Mr.G won't be too bad. But when her grandmother
plans a big interview with a big interviewer, Mia is very nervous. When she
finally has the review, she feels as if nothing will ever go right again.
Mia's father is there, and well Mia's mom has not exactly told Mia's dad
that she is getting married. So when Mia tells the entire world about her
mom marring Mr.G, not only is Mia's dad in shock, but so is her
grandmother. For the next few chapters, things don't go so well for Mia.
Later on in the book, Mia's grandmother decides to plan her mom and
Mr.G's wedding. Her grandma even hires a professional planer. Mia knows
that her mom will not like the fact that her daughter's father's mother is
planning her wedding. But after Mia's mother's parents, who have never in
their entire life left Africa, come to help Mia's grandmother plan the
wedding that Mia's mom doesn't even want, Mia and her mom thinks
things have gotten out of hand. But they both know that they can do
nothing. So they call Mia's father to take care of his mother. Well I don't
want to give any more away but I do recommend this book for anyone who
is a girl and liked the first Princess Diaries book.
