Awards/获奖情况：*星級評語*殿下Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldi, Genovia（吉諾維亞，《公主日記》中虛構的國家）的女王儲，已決定為自己寫一本書。“Mia”對於成名已經習以為常了，畢竟，自從她由創造者轉變成合著者角色後，Meg Cabot,和讀者在暢銷的《Princess Diaries》（公主日記）系列小說中分享故事的發展情節。現在，Mia（作者筆名）將要告訴你一個關於Finnula Crais的故事，這位13世紀的女孩，作為一個弓箭手的技能遠遠超過村莊的任何人。她經常在屬於Hugo Fitzstephen爵士的Stephensgate领地森林中進行嚴令禁止的射擊獵殺遊戲，而且她還經常與掙扎在生存線上的農民們共同享用（捕獵回來的）肉食。當Finnula的另一些姐姐快要結婚時，因為家裡買不起嫁妝，固執的 Finnula決定綁架正從十字軍東征返回Hugo爵士，她算計這必定是一筆上好的“買賣”。然後，最糟的事情可能發生了：Finnula愛上了這位被俘虜的爵士。爭強好勝的女主角和失意英雄之間有趣的舉動和冒險故事使得這出熱鬧的中世紀的浪漫愛情故事讓您自然而然的愛不釋手。而且作者還忠實于對動物權益和環境保護的信念：從小說的全部收益，到作品所用的環保紙印刷，都將捐贈給綠色和平組織。 --- Shelley Mosley，書單。
*Starred Review* Her Royal Highness Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldi, Crown Princess of Genovia, has decided to write her own book. “Mia” is used to fame, after all, since her creator turned coauthor, Meg Cabot, has shared her story in the bestselling Princess Diaries series. Now Mia tells the tale of Finnula Crais, a thirteenth-century lass whose skills as an archer far surpass those of anyone else in her village. She often shoots forbidden game in the forest belonging to Sir Hugo Fitzstephen, Earl of Stephensgate, sharing the meat with the struggling peasantry. When another of Finnula’s many sisters is about to get married and the family can’t afford a dowry, the incorrigible Finnula decides to kidnap Sir Hugo, who has returned from the Crusades with what she figures must be a bounty of spoils. Then the worst thing possible happens: Finnula falls in love with the captive knight. The antics and adventures of the feisty heroine and frustrated hero make this hilarious medieval romance a sure-to-please page-turner. And the authors are true to their animal-rights and environmental convictions: all proceeds from the novel, which is printed on environmentally friendly paper, will be donated to Greenpeace. ---Shelley Mosley, From Booklist The gimmick to accompany the conclusion of the Princess Diaries is this delightful historical romance written by series heroine Princess Mia Thermopolis (with help from Cabot, who is donating all proceeds to Greenpeace). Finn Crais is the resourceful daughter of a miller living in Stephensgate, England, in 1291. When Finns older sister, Mellana, gets pregnant by a troubadour and has no money for a dowry, Finn agrees to carry out Mellanas ridiculous plan to abduct a wealthy man and hold him ransom, settling on Earl Hugh Fitzstephen, fresh back from the crusades and loaded with gold and jewels. Finn doesn’t realize who it is she’scaptured, and Fitzstephen, owing to a curiosity about Finn and wanting to see where the kidnapping will lead, plays along. As to be expected, passions become enflamed, and Finn discovers her sister’s plan may not be a simple as she originally thought. Though predictable, the novel is thoroughly enjoyable and funny. Cabots fans, and particularly those graduating from the Princess Diaries, will be pleased, especially as they may have read brief excerpts in Forever Princess, the series finale (Reviews, p. 55).
