Book ID/图书代码: 12844001B02951
English Summary/英文概要: Just when Mia thought she had the whole Princess thing under control.
Things get out of hand, fast:
Since Mia’s the brand-new crown princess of Genovia, indomitable dowager princess Grandmère arranges a national primetime interview for her. With just a few innocent remarks, Mia manages to enrage her best friend Lilly, practically get one of her teachers fired, and alienate the entire country of Genovia. (Population 30,000, but still!)
There’s the havoc of the interview’s aftermath and her dreaded princess lessons at the Plaza. Plus an unexpected announcement from her mother, and intriguing, exasperating letters from a secret admirer. 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.
What’s an heir to the royal throne to do? But what’s a girl to do when her name is PRINCESS AMELIA MIGNONETTE GRIMALDI THERMOPOLIS RENALDO?

Awards/获奖情况:In a follow-up to The Princess Diaries soon to be a film starring Julie Andrews Meg Cabot chronicles Mia’s crowning as princess of Genovia in Princess in the Spotlight. The new monarch quickly discovers the power of an interview, as she nearly gets a teacher fired and manages to alienate her best friend and her royal subjects with a few simple sentences.---From Publishers Weekly Gr 6-9-A sequel to The Princess Diaries (HarperCollins, 2000), in which Mia, 14, discovered that she is a princess. Now she is reluctantly adjusting to the trappings of royalty: she has a bodyguard, she rides to school in a limousine, and she takes "princess lessons" from her paternal grandmother. Written in diary format, the story opens with a bombshell: the teen learns that her mother is pregnant. Worse yet, the baby’s father is Mia’s algebra teacher. They soon announce that they are getting married. At first, Mia is a little apprehensive, but slowly she becomes accustomed to the idea. When GrandmŠre learns about the wedding, she begins to plan a huge state affair. The plot careens along with outrageous characters doing outrageous things, but in the context of the story, "outrageous" seems quite normal. In the end, mother and algebra teacher elope, and even though Mia’s secret admirer is not who she hoped he would be, her friend’s brother does seem interested in her. With The Princess Diaries a Disney movie released during the summer, this title should be popular.---Marlyn K. Roberts, Torrance Public Library, CA, From School Library Journal
Gr. 7-10. In the Princess Diaries (2000) (now a movie), readers were treated to 27 days of Mia Thermopolis’ musings and ranting about her mother’s dating habits; her life as a flat-chested, five-foot, nine-inch high-school freshman living in Greenwich Village; and the discovery that she’s heir to the throne of a tiny European principality. This book covers the next 13 days in Mia’s life, and it’s just as good as its predecessor. The action is fast, furious, and laugh-out-loud funny as Mia takes more princess lessons and flirts online with an admirer she hopes is Lilly’s brother, Michael; Mia’s mother and Mr. Gianini announce they are going to have a baby; and Grandmere plans the wedding. Through it all, Mia remains as smart, sassy, self-absorbed, worried, and wistful as ever. Readers who loved the first volume will be equally pleased with this one and eagerly await the four books to come. After all, there’s a month till Mia is presented to her subjects, and she still doesn’t realize that Michael likes her.---Chris Sherman, From Booklist
