Book report

(pictures from Yahoo search engine)

The book I was devoted to reading this term was Meg Cabot's Princess diaries--Princess in Training. I decided to read that book because my mother bought it for me. I found it ying in my cupboard. Although I had already read it before, I decided to re-read it again. Also, I was told to read a book by my teacher so I did so. Furthermore, I heard from many of my friends that they love the book.

I would recommend this book to those who have not read it as it allows us to understand how we can cope with teenage problems and learn from Mia how she perservere through things she thinks she is unable to cope with.

This book is regarding a girl named Amelia also known as Mia. She is a typical teenager outcast till she found out that her father came down with Testicular Cancer which left him infertile. Mia did not know that she was a princess until much trouble she went through in the first book as a freshman.

In this series, she is a sophomore and she has a new boyfriend who has already graduated from Albert Einstein High School. It really is amazing how she actually dislike being a princess unlike other girls who would be glad to be one. She had been looking forward to school everyday since she had Michael Moscovitz as her boyfriend. However, he is now in Junior College and besides her bestfriend Lilly Moscovitz, Michael's younger sister, school life is ever yet so dreadful with Lana Weignberger whom she was always on loggerheads with. Things was made worse when Lana told Mia that college boys want their girlfriends to Do It with them otherwise they would dump them. Mia started getting worried about Michael. She felt that she was not ready and hoped that he would wait and not break up with her as she loved him dearly. Lilly was kept in the dark about it for a period of time. Mia only told Tina Hakim Baba, a friend she found in the first book for being left out as a princess.

To make things even worse, Lilly voted Mia as School Council President. Plus, Mia was to compete with Lana Weignberger. Lilly worked together with Mia's Grandmère. Lilly's motive was to suceed being Council President by making Mia step down after she won and for Grandmère it was to distract the reporters from the "little problem with killer algaes and snails" case that Mia was blamed for destroying the ecosystem when she was only atempting to save the ocean by making those snails eat the algae set loose by Moscow(if I am not wrong) which wants to remove Genovia(Mia's country) from the UN(united nations).

Fortunately, everything turned out fine and all the worries were of no use. Michael said that he could wait but not forever as he wants Mia to be his one and only, Mia won the debate for President but still in a dillemma whether to let Lilly be the President instead, the snails began eating the algae and Genovia was back on UN.

At the end of the day, Mia learnt that things are usually not what it seems to be and perserverence would always get one through the day. Adding on, she learnt that she has to be confident in herself to succeed.

I thoght that the Doing It part was the most interesting. As in, how Mia worried about her love life. Mia was amusing having to had believed what Lana had said about guys having the "backups" if they do not Do It and when girls have their period and they bathe they would bleed to death. Mia learnt not to belive rumours, trust her love and have her own paradigms and speak up for herself in this scene.
