Project Princess (The Princess Diaries #4.5)

Reader reviewed by Cowgirl

I enjoyed reading "Project Princess" by Meg Cabot! "Project Princess" is part of the popular "Princess Diaries" book series. In "Project Princess" Mia goes to work on a building a house for a family in need. It may be difficult, but in the end, its worth it. Have fun reading this edition to the series, I know I did!

i must admit that i was pretty disapointed with this meg cabot book. although it was still very funny...it got a little borring. it is really short though, since its only 1/2 of volume 4. anyway, mia and her friends are trying to help society by building homes for the needy. Mia soo realizes that being charitable is actually hard work. also, mia is frusteraded with micheal because she thinks hes not paying much attention to her...

Project Princess. I thought that this book was pretty good but not a lot took place. this book is about Mia trying to go on a trip to build houses for the less fortunate,but do you think that mia went to help. NO, she went to be alone with her boyfriend Micheal.when mia is finally allowed to go she is hoping to get to second base with her boyfriend but what she did not expect was using so much time building houses. read as mia struggles to build a house when she can hardly use a hammer!

I liked this book, evern though it was really short. She's doing charity work with all of her friends, including Micheal. She enjoys the trip, and the time alone with Micheal.

This book is bad. It's supposed to be read before the fifth book. This serves as an in-between book where Mia and her friends do charity work. While the concept is good, the execution is not and the story drags. It's short to say the least and goes by pretty quickly. Borrow it from a library if you must, but it's not worth the money.

While Princess Mia is on spring break helping the less fortunate, she’s hoping to reach “self-actualization” and make out with Michael. She’s involved in her school group of Housing for the Hopeful. They will build a house for the Harmeyers, who have lived in a trailer all their lives. Mia must face stinky scents, no showers, soaked tents, and nasty Boris. Read Project Princess, Volume 4 ½ of the Princess Diaries. Check out Princess in Pink in early 2004.


It only took me about 45 minutes to read Project Princess, but it was just as fun as the other volumes. I liked Lilly’s documentary idea, Mia’s crazy desires, and Boris’s being weird. 5 stars! Girls 12 and up will enjoy this book.
