Princess Mia thinks she has her life under control, even though she still has to take Princess Lessons. Then her mother breaks news that makes her life worse. Plus Grandmère arranges a national primetime interview for her that ends up disastrous. She ends up saying things that she shouldnt have said.

When she thinks things are bad enough, she starts receiving letters from a secret admirer. The secret admirer isnt who she was hoping it would be, but she still decides to give it a try. Its not like it will hurt her.

Grandmère has arranged an extremely elegant wedding for Mias mother and algebra teacher, so her mothers parents show up with her cousin. She has to find a place for them to stay, since her mother cant stand them. Her mother cant take it anymore, so she and Mr. Gianini elope in Cancun, instead of showing up for their planned wedding. This was all a plan made by someone unsuspected.
But things start to look up when Michael complements her. She begins to wonder if Michael likes her.

This book is excellent with a lot of humor. A princess can only take so much. Grandmère should just leave her alone. Mias father is great. What he did would never have been expected. Michael is so sweet. Why does Kenny ask her out? This book will be very popular with teenage girls.

The second book in the Princess Diaries Series talks about how she gets a secret admirer, how she believes it is Mike, and ow she is slowly falling in love with Mike, or at least realizing her love for him. It also talks about how she blurts out her mother's pregnancy to everyone once on live TV, and other hardships. It is a very awesome read!

The main character, Mia, has such an exciting life in this book. And she thought things would get better later on, and then she found out her mom is having her math teacher's baby, and someone is her secret admirer! Read this book, but read the first before you read this one.

This is a great sequal to the first one. Mia has a whole bunch more problems in this book. Her mom is pregnant, her cousin and friends are drivinh her crazy, and she's getting weird anonymous love letters. You won't be able to guess who it is.

The second book wasn't as good as the first. Mia starts to settle down in her new European country but things go awry when she has to deal with paparazzi and doing a public interview. She manages to insult her friend, anger her father, shame her grandmother and humiliate her whole country--all in the same day. Amazing. That alone is only good part of the book. Everything else falls flat.

Mia's life is anything but normal. She's a princess, a freak and her grandmother is evil. But then her mother has news to add on...she's pregnant with Mia's algebra teacher's baby.
Mia gets interviewed and alienates her friends with some answers to questions. As well as getting suspended from school due to her provoked attack on Lana's (an evil cheerleader ) cell phone.
Then comes the letters. Mia begins to get emails from a sercret admirer and freaks. Is the writer who she thinks..no hopes it is?
Find out by reading this super funny and interesting sequel to the best-selling Princess Diaries book.
This book is really good and I reccomend it to anyone who has read the Princess Diaries.

So I really loved this book and I love when you finish reading a book you feel like the main character is your best friend. That's what I felt with this book and I loved it! Anyways in the book Mia's mom is getting married to her teacher and Mia is also getting love notes and emails and she is trying to find out who is sending them. It's a really really good book and I think everyone should read it but don't forget to read the first book in the series first!
