About book The Princess Diaries Collection (2007)

I saw the movie based off these books a while ago and decided to read the books. I'm so glad I did since the books were different and better. For one thing, the movie takes place in San Francisco, and the books take place in New York (Manhattan). I don't like San Francisco, but I love New York, so that was just one positive. Another bonus - in the movie Mia's father is dead but in the book he is alive. I don't know why they killed him off in the movie but he adds a nice dynamic to the books. Overall they were a fun easy read and they were entertaining. The first book is called The Princess Diaries. It is about a girl called Mia who is at first a normal girl. But later, her dad told her that she is not Mia Thermopolis. She is Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo, Princess of Genovia. She's heir to the throne of Genovia. Well, her dad can lecture her until he's royal-blue in the face, but no way is Mia going to behave like some posh princess. If you want to know more, read this book NOW!!! I think this book is hilarious and this is also the bestselling THE PRINCESS DIARIES series.
