Return to the world of Meg Cabot''s bestselling and beloved Princess Diaries series in From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess—this time through the illustrated diary of a spunky new heroine: Princess Mia''s long lost half-sister, Olivia! Olivia Grace Clarisse Mignonette Harrison is a completely average twelve-year-old: average height, average weight, average brown hair of average length, average brown skin and average hazel eyes. The only things about her that aren''t average are her name (too long and princess themed), her ability to draw animals (useful for her future career as a wildlife illustrator), and the fact that she is a half-orphan who has never met her father and is forced to live with her aunt and uncle (who treat her almost like their own kids, so she doesn''t want to complain). Then one completely average day, everything goes wrong: the most popular girl in school, Annabelle Jenkins, threatens to beat her up, the principal gives her a demerit, and she''s knocked down at the bus stop . . . Until a limo containing Princess Mia Thermopolis of Genovia pulls up to invite her to New York to finally meet her father, who promptly invites her to come live with him, Mia, Grandmère and her two fabulous poodles . . . . Maybe Olivia Grace Clarisse Mignonette Harrison isn''t so average after all!

The one and only Mia Thermopolis is back and ready to reign! Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Meg Cabot’s blockbuster series in royal style—with all-new middle grade editions of the first three books! Just when Mia thinks she has the whole princess thing under control, things get out of hand, fast. First there’s an unexpected announcement from her mother. Then Grandmère arranges a national primetime interview for the brand-new crown princess of Genovia. On top of that, intriguing, exasperating letters from a secret admirer begin to arrive. Soon Mia is swept up in a whirlwind of royal intrigue the likes of which hasn’t been seen since volume I of the Princess Diaries. Princess in the Spotlight is the second book in the beloved, bestselling series that inspired the feature film starring Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews.

Jess is working at a summer camp when a father begs her to find his daughter but the feds want her, too.

That is, it usually means those things. But when you''re Princess Mia, nothing happens the way it''s supposed to. For one thing, Grandmère seems determined to prove that boy (or Michael, as he is commonly known) isn''t the right one for the crown princess of Genovia. And Mia isn''t having much luck proving otherwise, since Michael has a history of being decidedly against any kind of exploitative commercialization (Valentine''s Day, as it is commonly known). Boris can declare his love openly to Lilly, and even Kenny comes through with a paltry Whitman''s Sampler. So why can''t Michael give in to Cupid and tell Mia he loves her—preferably with something wrapped in red or pink and accompanied by roses—in time to prove he''s Mia''s true prince?

Princess Mia is introduced to her Genovian subjects, and more importantly, she goes out on a date.

She''s also ready to dive headlong into the arms of handsome and debonair Lord Sebastian. Nicola''s dream is a proposal from the viscount—a dream she''s about to realize at last! So naturally, Nathaniel Sheridan''s insinuations about her fiancé''s flawed character annoy her mightily.

To her great surprise, Nicola realizes she''s had the wrong viscount all along . . . but is it too late to make things right? Nicola could feel Lord Sebastian''s heart beating.

In a series of humorous diary entries, fifteen-year-old Mia tries to figure out how to raise money for the bankrupt student government at her school while also worrying about how to become a "party girl"

Now includes a bonus excerpt from Meg Cabot''s new Heather Wells novel, Size 12 and Ready to Rock, available wherever books are sold July 10. Heather Wells Rocks! Or, at least, she did. That was before she left the pop-idol life behind after she gained a dress size or two—and lost a boyfriend, a recording contract, and her life savings (when Mom took the money and ran off to Argentina). Now that the glamour and glory days of endless mall appearances are in the past, Heather''s perfectly happy with her new size 12 shape (the average for the American woman!) and her new job as an assistant dorm director at one of New York''s top colleges. That is, until the dead body of a female student from Heather''s residence hall is discovered at the bottom of an elevator shaft. The cops and the college president are ready to chalk the death off as an accident, the result of reckless youthful mischief. But Heather knows teenage girls . . . and girls do not elevator surf. Yet no one wants to listen—not the police, her colleagues, or the P.I. who owns the brownstone where she lives—even when more students start turning up dead in equally ordinary and subtly sinister ways. So Heather makes the decision to take on yet another new career: as spunky girl detective! But her new job comes with few benefits, no cheering crowds, and lots of liabilities, some of them potentially fatal. And nothing ticks off a killer more than a portly ex-pop star who''s sticking her nose where it doesn''t belong . . .

Mia has hit an all-time low. Lilly isn''t speaking to her. Someone is posting horrible things about her on ihatemiathermopolis.com. Grandmere is forcing her to give a speech to two thousand of the most powerful businesswomen in America. And oh yeah: Michael, the love of her life, has dumped her. But despite what the press seems to think, Mia has more on her mind than recruiting a new Prince Charming. Like solving a 400-year-old mystery that could mean BIG changes for little Genovia. But is Mia really ready to throw away her tiara - especially if it means destroying a dynasty?PRAISE FOR MEG CABOT"There is a school of thought that says reading should be entertaining, and this is exactly what Meg Cabot produces for us: fun.
