内容简介 Book Description
Princess for president!

Student body president, that is — nominated by her power-mad best friend, Lilly. This is not how Mia imagined kicking off her sophomore year, but as usual, she has bigger problems to worry about, like Geometry. And now that Mia's one true love, Michael, is uptown at college, what's the point of even getting up for school in the morning? But the last straw is what Lana whispers to her on the lunch line about what college boys expect of their girlfriends. . . . Really, it's almost more than a princess in training can bear!

Synopsis:
A sophomore at last, Mia is nominated by Lilly for student body president--and Grandmre joins the campaign team (ruling a school is good training for ruling a kingdom, after all).

From Booklist
Fans of Princess Mia will be celebrating the return of the whole gang in the sixth installment of the popular series. Lilly and Grandmere are a force to be reckoned with as they try to get Mia elected president of the school. In the meantime, Mia worries that boyfriend Michael really expects her to "do it" now that he's a college man. Arch-nemesis Lana Weinberger is Mia's political foe, and there's a new English teacher certain to help Mia develop her writing career. As if that isn't enough, Mia worries so much about her new baby brother, Rocky, that Lilly nicknames Mia "Baby-Licker," and the snails Mia dumped into the Bay of Genovia are creating an international incident! Pop-culture references abound, potentially dating the book fairly quickly, but teens will continue to get in line to read this beloved yet familiar fare. Particularly entertaining are the comments Mia makes about the recent movies made of her life.

From School Library Journal
Grade 6-9–Mia and company have returned in the sixth book (HarperCollins, 2005) of Meg Cabot's popular series. This time, Mia is beginning her sophomore year in high school without Michael who is starting college at Columbia. Lily is by her side, though, and nominates Mia to become student council president. As usual, Mia obsesses about the events in her life by revealing all in her diary. She must maintain a cross-town relationship with her boyfriend, overcome a B in English, learn geometry, and save her baby brother from his laid-back parents. And strangely, Lily and Grandmere have teamed up to help her succeed in her bid for student council president. It all becomes too much to deal with when Mia's nemesis, Lana, informs her that all college boys expect to do it. Indeed, the repetitive references to doing it and condoms may make this volume inappropriate for preteens. Cabot slyly pokes fun at her own critics when Mia's English teacher informs her that cartoonish slapstick humor and slick pop culture references are beneath the work of serious writers. Narrator Clea Lewis is the perfect youthful voice for Mia and the pacing is just right. There's not a lot of depth here, but there is no denying Mia's popularity, and this audiobook is sure to be enjoyed by tween and teen girls who are fans of the series.
