About this audiobook

It’s an all new school year for Princess Mia, with all new classes, all new challenges . . . and all new worries. With a baby brother at home who won’t stop crying and a potential eco-disaster in her native land that has all of Europe in an uproar, Mia’s got a lot more on her mind than just a case of the sophomore slumps:

• There’s Ms. Martinez, the new English teacher who can’t seem to stand Mia–or her writing.

• Michael, so busy with his new classes at Columbia, barely has time to IM, let alone make out.

• Lana, who has some disturbing information on just what college boys expect from their girlfriends.

• Lilly, who seems to think Mia has plenty of time in between flunking geometry and her princess lessons to run for student body president.

• And of course Grandmere, who has a plan to keep Genovia from being thrown out of the EU that seems to include making unscheduled appearances in the hallways of Albert Einstein High in her tiara, and forcing her only granddaughter to fondle the body parts of long deceased saints . . .

Really, it’s almost more than a princess in training can bear.

    I am so happy to read some actual growth coming from Mia. This book gives me how that the characters will change and not be stagnant, driving me insane. I also have to admit that I chuckled at the little shots Cabot took at the Disney movies.

    Another installment, another book full of me hating Lilly. I'm not sure what it is that makes Mia continue to be friends with her. She's abrasive and pushy and bossy and down right mean and insulting to the people she claims are her friends. It really rubs me the wrong way. Other than the Lilly side of things, I love how the author chose to poke fun at the differences in the film versions of the series. That move endeared me to Ms. Cabot all the more. Michael, oh Michael, how much I love this guy! He's smart without being abrasive like his sister, and he truly seems to care about Mia. I love his line at the end of the book, which totally sealed my love for his character. Oh, the story, so the plot is a bit different this time and focuses a lot on high school and how it compares to her princess life. I liked the comparison aspect and think it was brilliant to write it that way. Great addition to the series and a must read for true fans.

    I feel like finally in this book something clicks for Mia about being a Princess and leader for that matter. In this installment Mia is faced with a lot of important things - she very well may have screwed up in Genovia over the summer, her boyfriend might want to get more serious than she is ready for, and her best friend has nominated her to run for student council president. So just another dramatic year for Mia.

    This book was another crazy ramble of Mia's thoughts and feelings but she also started to learn that she really needs tom communication with people if she is ever going to learn anything and actually take on her role as a princess. Granted it takes the whole book for her to realize this but she is getting there.

    I loved her growth in this book, she is really coming into herself and standing up for what she wants and doesn't want. She is growing up and it is showing. Now that doesn't mean that she isn't still freaking out like a teenager - there is still a lot of that fun ridiculous Mia humor for those of you who have read other books in the series.

    One of the things I mentioned in the All-American Girl reviews is that Mia is a very immature character compared to other Meg Cabot heroines, and it shows in this book. It also doesn’t help that the major subplot is lifted from Ready or Not, although Mia’s approach to the sex question is vastly different from Sam’s. The one thing I did like about this is that you see Mia’s confidence growing, with the main plot of her being thrust into the student council president race. She actually does speak up on issues, without Lilly or other friends pushing her to do so. It’s a direction I really hoped would show up in later volumes (which I’ll get to when I get to them). The subplot with Michael and the question of whether or not that they should “do it,” on the other hand, really illustrates her immaturity. Mia continuously freaks out at any mention of committing the “act,” but without sitting down and talking it through with her boyfriend. I am also not a fan of the subplot with Ms. Martinez—while I can sort of see and understand Mia’s reaction of “OMG HOW DARE SHE NOT THINK MY WRITING IS BRILLIANT!!”, I’m not a fan of the obvious offense of “Pop culture references aren’t high literature.” (Which becomes more egregious once you learn that it was meant to be a take that at some of Meg Cabot’s critics.) There’s a lot of wasted potential in the book, particularly in making Mia grow as a character, and it really shows in the writing.

    Mia seems to be growing up significantly. She isn't as shallow and self-obsessed as she's been in previous chapters, though she still blows everything way out of proportion and harps on the tiniest things. Grandmere, as always, is still my favorite character, though I'm developing a deeper respect for Tina.

    Do these people never talk to each other? What kind of a couple are Michael and Mia when they can hardly communicate about the things that bother them. I know its the formula for this series, but waiting until the last chapter tp actually talk to each other, well, it's just annoying.It's hard to see how they love each other so much when they hardly spend any time together.Other than that, I enjoyed this, all the side plots were funny, and Mia's baby-licking was entertaining.

    Mia runs for student government, almost gets Genovia kicked out of the European Union, and thinks that because Michael is in college now he has to do IT or everything will back up and explode.

    I really enjoyed this book. Most found it lagging, but I felt it was calmer then the others and touched on some really important subjects for young girls.
