Reviewer (text)
Except for her unusually long name, 12-year-old Olivia Grace Clarisse Mignonette Harrison is completely average. But when a limousine shows up at a school and Princess Mia Thermopolis of Genovia invites her into the car, everything changes --- Olivia learns that her father is royalty and that she is, too.
Just like her young adult The Princess Diaries books, Cabot explores the life of a young girl who is innocent of her royal connections in FROM THE NOTEBOOKS OF A MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCESS. Olivia is confused when a new life starts unfolding before her. Suddenly she has a “real family” who loves her. Suddenly she is “somebody”. She is a nice girl, and she worries about hurting the aunt and uncle who raised her, even though they may not have always been honest with her. Will all these changes go to her head? Will she leave all her friends behind, especially her best friend, Nishi?
Readers will be rooting for Olivia and hoping she can happily resolve her new situation.

About the Book
Olivia Grace Clarisse Mignonette Harrison is a completely average 12-year-old: average height, average weight, average brown hair of average length, average brown skin and average hazel eyes. The only things about her that aren't average are her name (too long and princess themed), her ability to draw animals (useful for her future career as a wildlife illustrator) and the fact that she is a half-orphan who has never met her father and is forced to live with her aunt and uncle (who treat her almost like their own kids, so she doesn't want to complain).
Then one completely average day, everything goes wrong: the most popular girl in school, Annabelle Jenkins, threatens to beat her up, the principal gives her a demerit and she's knocked down at the bus stop...
Until a limo containing Princess Mia Thermopolis of Genovia pulls up to invite her to New York to finally meet her father, who promptly invites her to come live with him, Mia, Grandmère and her two fabulous poodles...
Maybe Olivia Grace Clarisse Mignonette Harrison isn't so average after all!
