Publisher Description

Mia must take princess lessons from her dreaded grandmere, the dowager princess of Genovia, who thinks Mia has a thing or two to learn before she steps up to the throne.

Well, her father can lecture her until he's royal-blue in the face about her princessly duty - no way is she moving to Genovia and leaving Manhattan behind.

But what's a girl to do when her name is PRINCESS AMELIA MIGNONETTE GIRMALDI THERMOPOLIS RANALDO?

"Comparing this book with the movie. Of course the book had some better qualities. I will be reading the other books in the series and see what Princess Mia is up to next. The grandmother character in the movie is better than the character in the book. Of course, it is Julie Andrews."
