Princess Mia may seem like the luckiest girl ever.
But the truth is, Mia spends all her time doing one of three things: preparing for her nerve-racking entrée into Genovian society, slogging through the congestion unique to Manhattan in December, and avoiding further smooching from her hapless boyfriend, Kenny.
For Mia, being princess is not the fairy tale it’s supposed to be . . . or is it?

Meg Cabot - Princess in Waiting
Never before has the world seen such a princess.
Nor have her own subjects, for that matter. Mia's royal introduction to Genovia has mixed results: while her fashion sense is widely applauded, her position on the installation of public parking meters is met with resistance.
But the politics of bureaucracy are nothing next to Mia's real troubles. Between canceled dates with her long-sought-after royal consort, a second semester of the dreaded Algebra, more princess lessons from Grandmère as a result of the Genovian parking-meter thing, and the inability to stop gnawing on her fingernails, isn't there anything Mia is good at besides inheriting an unwanted royal title?
Meg Cabot - Sweet Sixteen Princess
Sixteen is the magic number
Mia doesn't always have the best luck with parties, so even though it's her sweet sixteenth, she doesn't want a birthday bash. As usual, Grandmère has other ideas, and thinks a reality TV special is just the thing in order to celebrate royally. The whole scheme smacks of Lilly's doing -- Lilly, whose own TV show is still only limited to local cable viewers.
Will Mia be able to stop Grandmère's plan? Will her friends ever forgive her if she does stop it, since it involves all of them taking the royal jet to Genovia for an extravaganza the likes of which would turn even Paris Hilton green with envy? Why can't Mia get what she really wants: an evening alone with Michael?
With a little luck, this sweet sixteen princess might just get her wish -- a birthday that's royally romantic.
Meg Cabot - The Princess Diaries Collection I-II.
Volume I: Mia Thermopolis is your average urban ninth grader. Even though she lives in Greenwich Village with a single mom who is a semifamous painter, Mia still puts on her Doc Martens one at a time, and the most exciting things she ever dreams about are smacking lips with sexy senior Josh Richter, „six feet of unadulterated hotness,” and passing Algebra I. Then Mia's dad comes to town, and drops a major bomb. Turns out he's not just a European politician as he's always lead her to believe, but actually the prince of a small country! And Mia, his only heir, is now considered the crown princess of Genovia! She doesn't even know how to begin to cope: „I am so NOT a princess…. You never saw anyone who looked less like a princess than I do. I mean, I have really bad hair… and… a really big mouth and no breasts and feet that look like skis.” And if this news wasn't bad enough, Mia's mom has started dating her algebra teacher, the paparazzi is showing up at school, and she's in a huge fight with her best friend, Lilly. How much more can this reluctant Cinderella handle?
Volume II: No one ever said being a princess was easy.
Just when Mia thought she had the whole Princess thing under control, things get out of hand, fast. First there's an unexpected announcement from her mother. Then Grandmère arranges a national primetime interview for the brand-new crown princess of Genovia. On top of that, intriguing, exasperating letters from a secret admirer begin to arrive.
Before she even has the chance to wonder who those letters are from, Mia is swept up in a whirlwind of royal intrigue the likes of which hasn't been seen since volume I of The Princess Diaries.

This is your one and only chance to find out how it all ends - including the answers to hotter than hot questions like: Is the practically perfect J.P. the real love of Mia's life?

And finally, crucially, will Michael Moscovitz return from Japan and make a last-minute romantic gesture just in time to save our heroine from making a very big mistake?

Meg Cabot - Valentine Princess
That is, it usually means those things. But when you're Princess Mia, nothing happens the way it's supposed to. For one thing, Grandmère seems determined to prove that boy (or Michael, as he is commonly known) isn't the right one for the crown princess of Genovia. And Mia isn't having much luck proving otherwise, since Michael has a history of being decidedly against any kind of exploitative commercialization (Valentine's Day, as it is commonly known).
Boris can declare his love openly to Tina, and even Kenny comes through with a paltry Whitman's Sampler. So why can't Michael give in to Cupid and tell Mia he loves her—preferably with something wrapped in red or pink and accompanied by roses—in time to prove he's Mia's true prince?
Meg Cabot - Princess Mia
A princess on her own . . .
Mia has been invited to speak at a gala for Domina Rei, an elite society of powerful businesswomen. But what could she possibly have to say? Now that Michael has broken things off, Mia can barely get out of bed, and her parents are making her see a therapist. School, where Lilly still refuses to speak to her and Lana suddenly wants to be bff, is a total nightmare. Even J.P.'s efforts to cheer Mia up (he's being really sweet!) aren't helping. What's a royal to do?
Just when things couldn't get worse, Mia uncovers an old family secret, a long-forgotten diary of a teenage princess of Genovia. It could be just the thing to help Mia write her speech—but it might also change the fate of the Renaldos forever.

Meg Cabot - The Princess Present
In a series of diary entries, Princess Mia describes celebrating Christmas with her friends in Genovia.
Meg Cabot - Princess in Training
Princess for president
Student body president, that is. It's all the fault of Princess Mia's power-mad best friend and campaign manager, Lilly, who nominates her in the first place. This is not how Mia imagined kicking off her sophomore year, even if Grandmère thinks ruling her high school makes good practice for ruling Genovia someday.
As usual, though, Mia has bigger problems to worry about. Sophomore Geometry appears to be just as hard as freshman Algebra, and a shocking B on her first English assignment has Mia reeling. And with Michael, her one true love, uptown at college, what is the point of even getting up for school in the morning? 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.
Meg Cabot - Party Princess
Princess just want to have fun
This spring, Mia's determined to have a good time, despite the fact that the student government over which she presides is suddenly broke. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it) Grandmère has an elaborate scheme to simultaneously raise money, catapult Mia to theatrical fame, and link her romantically with an eligible teen bachelor, not her boyfriend. It's no wonder that Michael, the love of her life, seems to think she's a psycho, or worse: not much fun.
Is it possible that Mia, soon-to-be star of the stage, president of the student body, and future ruler of Genovia, doesn't know how to party?

Janikovszky Éva - Az úgy volt...
"Az úgy volt, hogy amikor hazajöttem a táborból, itthon mindenki nekem esett, hogy na mi újság, mi volt, hogy volt, meséljek már. Én általán tudom, hogy mi az újság, csak nem szeretem, ha folyton kérdik. Ezért mondtam, hogy semmi." Hányszor van így az ember, ha kamasz. És hányszor kerül olyan helyzetbe, hogy "semmi-szerű" választ ad, pedig... például ha a nagymamája megkérdi, hogy milyen húst süssön, azt feleli, hogy nem tudja, pedig... az öregek otthonában az egyik néni éppen azt szerette volna, ha olyan unokája lenne, mint ő... Vagy ha a kislány, akivel jó volna együtt járni, azt állítja, hogy írt a nyáron, és az ember úgy tesz, mintha nem hinné el, hogy írt. Janikovszky Éva tükröt tart a tizenhárom évesek elé, de mindannyiunk elé is, akik sok mindenen elgondolkodunk, sok mindenről tudjuk, hogy mi az újság, de azt válaszoljuk, hogy semmi. Réber László nagyszerű, telibe találó rajzai humorukkal a _kamaszság_ komikumát és líráját teszik még érthetőbbé, szeretetre méltóvá.
Janikovszky Éva - A Hét Bőr
A 7. b., azaz a HÉT BŐR részesül abban a „megtiszteltetésben”, hogy az iskola tatarozásának végeztéig vendégeskedhet néhány hétig a kertvárosi iskolában. Hát nem kiderül, hogy iskolába – persze a sajátjukba – járni egész jó dolog? Élményeiket a rajnaplóban fogják rögzíteni, ez a HÉT BŐR rajvállalkozása. Meg az is, hogy segítenek a kissrácoknak és az egyedülálló öregeknek. Ja, hogy a kissrácok cseppet sem szorulnak segítségre, és Vilma néni is köszöni szépen, inkább egyedül menne moziba?
Csupa régi-új helyzet Janikovszky Éva jól ismert, feje tetejére állított világából. Az sem számít, hogy nincsenek már őrsök és rajok, nincs takarékbélyeg és kazettás magnó sem, a gyerekek és a szülők nem változnak. Ahogy Janikovszky Éva és Réber László sem.
Christopher Paolini - Eragon (angol)

Overnight his simple life is shattered and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds. Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands...
