Product Description
Princess for president Student body president, that is. It's all the fault of Princess Mia's power-mad best friend and campaign manager, Lilly, who nominates her in the first place. This is not how Mia imagined kicking off her sophomore year, even if Grandmere thinks ruling her high school makes good practice for ruling Genovia someday. As usual, though, Mia has bigger problems to worry about. Sophomore Geometry appears to be just as hard as freshman Algebra, and a shocking B on her first English assignment has Mia reeling. And with Michael, her one true love, uptown at college, what is the point of even getting up for school in the morning? The last straw is what Lana whispers to her on the lunch line about what college boys expect of their girlfriends ... Really, it's almost more than a princess in training can bear.

 This book annoyed me January 7, 2009
I just started the Princess Diaries series a couple days ago to see what all the hub bub was about. I enjoyed the first 4 books. Book 5 started the decline and book 6 was just plain annoying. I'm 21 years old so when Michael and Mia's relationship turned to having the talk about "doing it", I wasn't bothered. I know this is a book for young teens so this topic should be taken lightly and obviously Meg Cabot should not be saying "WOOO GO HAVE SEX NOW..YEEAAHHH!" But I found Mia's attitude towards sex was immature and reminded me of a 10 year old. She became obsessed with thinking Michael wanted her to "do it" (she never actually SAYS sex, which proves my 10 year old point) and avoided him at all costs. When they finally did have the talk, Michael spews out the line "I'm not going to wait forever" I will admit, that was a pretty harsh thing to say to your 15 year old girlfriend. I think people are reading too much into it though. They both talk about how they want to be together for a long time..yadda yadda.. so I don't know if Mia was never expecting to have sex and just "french" till the end of days or what. Sex IS part of a relationship (obviously when you are that young it most likely isn't, but probably will be in about a year or two) so I can see where Michael was coming from when he said it. I think he meant eventually..soon..as in a year or two I would like to have sex and no wait until we are 30.
And seriously, if you were 15 and you had a hotel room to yourself, wouldn't you invite your boyfriend? Especially since they complain about getting no alone time. I hope the next one is a little better.
 Princess Diaries: Prince in Training February 8, 2008
Used book in excellent condition. Exactly what I was looking for. Very happy with the results.
 not the strongest addition to a great teen series January 6, 2008
In this sixth installment of the teenage royal version of Bridget Jones, Mia must deal with international environmental controversy, her obsession with her baby brother, a new hard English teacher who doesn't like her use of pop-culture references, her best friend Lily's campaign to get Mia elected student-council president, and her relationship with her boyfriend Michael which might be turning sexual. The book is a mostly fluffy, funny, addition to the series that doesn't greatly advance the plot. The series as a whole is a fun read with a strong and clever and emotional young female protagonist. The one weakness of the series is the pop culture references as they will very quickly date the series. Grade: B
Big Princess Problems October 25, 2007
Are you looking for a great book for girls 12 and up? Well see if THIS book appeals to you. The book is called PRINCESS IN TRAINING, written by Meg Cabot. It's all about Princess Mia Renaldo Thermopolis, (this is Meg's sixth Princess Diaries book) as she works her way through the painful 10th grade, having to deal with a mean cheerleader, troubles with her college boyfriend Michael, sophomore geometry, her first B in English, Princess lessons with the dreadful Grandmere, and on top of all that her best friend Lilly Moscovitz has nominated her for student council president, her rival, you guessed it, the evil cheerleader Lana Weinberger. It truly seems like more then a 10th grader can handle. This book has the most emotional ending, but you'll have to read PRINCESS IN TRAINING to find out what it is. This book is truly an amazing story.
repulsive May 12, 2007
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
im only going to comment on one thing because it basically ruined the whole book for me. Michael pressuring Mia into sex and Mia whining about it throughout the whole book. Okay, Michael is 18 and Mia is 15. The age of consent in NY is 17. if these two have sex its called STATUTORY RAPE. it is a CRIME and Michael will go to JAIL. but meg cabot is writing about it like its perfectly normal and acceptable for a high school sophomore and a college guy to have sex. and by the way, this book is marketed to 8 year olds.
NOT COOL. if i could give it a 0 i would.
Btw i listened to this as an audiobook w/clea lewis as the narrator. just the cutesy way she whines about not wanting to 'do it' throughout the book makes it obvious that the author doesnt even take teenage sex seriously. she just keeps writing this garbage to titilate curious preteens and sell more books.
