Over the past few weeks I have read the book 'The Princess Diaries' by Meg Cabot. I am going to review this book on how suitable it is for a 12 year old audience.
'The Princess Diaries' is about a fifteen year old girl - Mia Thermopolis - who is dealing with life itself, but then everything becomes a whole lot more complicated when she finds out she is the heir to the throne in a town called Genova. The book covers typical topics such as; school life, crushes, rejection and betrayal, and friendship and family. Mia has to learn how to deal with her new life by making some changes for both good and bad. She finds it very hard to adapt to the princess life.
I liked this book because it is not just straight text, it has a mixture of letters and notes as well. It makes it an easier read, especially for the 12 year old audience. The book resembles the dream that many little girls have - they all want to be princesses - but in this case, Mia doesn't wish for this.
I recommend this book to anyone, but particually girls around the age of twelve. It is an interesting book and has 9 sequals to it. It will be enjoyed by anyone.
