tiaraAs you probably know, Meg Cabot is the author of the Princess Diaries series. This set of books was made popular by two movies, The Princess Diaries and The Princess Diaries 2 - Royal Engagement, starring the beautiful and lively Anne Hathaway as Mia Thermopolis. This modern fairy tale is at an end with the release of the last book, Volume X: Forever Princess, in Mia's high school career. Cabot adds, "I really didn't plan anything beyond when she was 18."

Just how young was Mia at the start of Princess Diaries? She was 14. At the tender age boys, teenage hormones, friends, and high school should have been all Mia had to cope with. But instead of leading a normal teenage girl life, Mia finds out that her worries and stresses increase with the added pressure of being a princess to a small country known as Genovia.

Fun Fact: In the last novel Princess Mia authors a historical romance novel as her final project. Entitled, Ransom My Heart by the Princess of Genovia Mia Thermopolis, was written with help from Meg Cabot and is available for purchase as well. Proceeds of this novel go to Greenpeace. The plot is about a young woman, Finn, who wishes to help her pregnant sister become financially well off, as the true father has run off. The plan is to abduct a wealthy gentleman and hold him for ransom. Set in England 1291.

Cabot's final thoughts: "It's a lot harder than I thought it would be to say goodbye... and maybe someday you'll be hearing about Princess Diaries: The College Years."
