Description

The one and only Mia Thermopolis is back and ready to reign! Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Meg Cabot’s blockbuster series in royal style—with all-new middle grade editions of the first three books!

Princess Mia may seem like the luckiest girl ever. But lately she spends all her time doing one of three things: preparing for her nerve-racking entrée into Genovian society, slogging through Manhattan in December, and avoiding further smooches from her hapless boyfriend, Kenny.

For Mia, being a princess in love is not the fairy tale it’s supposed to be...or is it?

Princess in Love is the third book in the beloved, bestselling series that inspired the feature film starring Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews.


  • Crush on Best Friend’s Brother: She has a boyfriend she can’t stand to kiss, but her heart belongs to Michael Moscovitz—her best friend’s brilliant, funny, and completely unavailable older brother.
  • Laugh-Out-Loud Diary Format: Read along with Mia’s hilarious and heartfelt journal entries as she navigates finals, princess lessons, and the Nondenominational Winter Dance.
  • First Boyfriend Drama: Mia has a boyfriend! The only problem? It’s Kenny. And every time he leans in for a kiss, all she can think about is how to get away.
  • High School Romance: A sweet and funny story about first love, messy crushes, and figuring out who you are, set against the backdrop of high school in New York City.
