Sweet Sixteen Princess is book 7.5 in the saga of Mia Thermopolis, Crown Princess of Genovia (you know her from Anne Hathaway’s ugly-betty-turned-swan-princess character in the Princess Diaries movies.)  Mia’s about to turn sixteen, and her beloved Grandmère and her best friend are plotting an MTV-style televised birthday extravaganza that would make Paris Hilton blush.  All Mia wants is a quiet, romantic evening with her boyfriend, but first she has to find a way to stop everyone else from planning her party, get the PTA to fix the school gym and convince her best friend to say the L-word.  No biggie right?  

The Princess Diaries books are a cool summer read:  light, fluffy and fun.
