Plot Summary of Princess in the Spotlight - The Princess Diaries 2
"In this book, the drama of the Princess Diaries continues, and just gets funnier! Her mother is having an affair with her algebra teacher, they have a baby and get married! Also, her best friend and all the nerds in the school have a date for the dance except her! At the end, she finds out her secret admirer (2), and makes up with her best friend after they had a huge fight."
Lara Carrier, Resident Scholar

"                   As a teenager, ugly duckling Mia (Anne Hathaway) learned that she was actually a princess. Now that the Princess has completed college in America, she is returning to her country, Genovia. Since Mia is turning 21, Queen Clarisse (Julie Andrews) plans to step down and give her granddaughter the throne. But evil Viscount Mabrey (Jonathan Rhys-Davies) believes his nephew is the rightful heir, and Parliament decides that Mia will have to abide by an age-old Genovian law: no Queen shall rule without a husband. Mia has just thirty days to marry if she is to retain the throne that her family has held for over 500 years. The kindhearted but clumsy princess also has to win over the Genovian people and survive the constant paparazzi. Although a charming Englishman (Callum Blue) seems to fit the arranged marriage bill, Mia also finds herself drawn to the very man that is vying for the throne, the dashing Nicholas (Chris Pine). But can she trust her foe's intentions? Will Mia follow her heart, or sacrifice love for her country? Gary Marshall directs this fun romp-with-royalty that also features Heather Matarazzo and Hector Elizondo."
MIR, Resident Scholar
