Princess in the Spotlight

Princess in the Spotlight is about a teenage girl who just found out she was the future princess of a country called Genovia. There is a movie based off of this book, called Princess Diaries. The movie makes it seem a little cheesy, but the book is actually really good. I got this book from Ms. Tabor's classroom bookshelf. I just started it and I am already attached! In this book the future princess, Mia, has a lot of crazy things happening to her. She has to get ready to be a princess, by spending a lot of time with her grandmother, the queen. Her mom is dating her algebra teacher, and to top it off, she just found out that her mom is pregnant. Mia has a lot to prepare for, and I am so excited to read on! This book is written in first person, like Mia is writing a journal about herself. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a funny story with a twist!!!

The Silver Crown, by Robert C O'Brien

I just started a book called The Silver Crown. It is about a girl named Ellen whose family died in a fire one day, her birthday. She decided she would live with her aunt in Kentucky. But she was in New York. She decided to hitch hike. Ellen rode with a man that was also going to Kentucky. He kept on saying strange things about the crown that she had. She found it on her pillow the morning her family died. But she wasn't in the house during the fire, and she still had the crown. It was all she had left. When the man started talking about the crown, she knew that something was up. She hadn't even mentioned the crown. Ellen knew that the crown meant something, it was a sign that she was in trouble, being followed, or wanted by some one. She immediately jumped out of his car and ran off into the woods. That is how far I have come, and it already sounds like it will be a great book. I highly recommend it. It is very descriptive and well written. I am already attached to it.
