Princesses just want to have And Mia does too, despite the fact that the student government over which she presides is suddenly broke. But Grandmere`s got a wacky scheme to raise the money, catapult Mia to theatrical fame, and link her romantically with an eligible teen bachelor who`s not her boyfriend. No wonder Michael 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?
What on earth is that princess up to now? Hammer in hand, Princess Mia embarks on an epic adventure for one so admittedly unhandy: Along with her cohorts from school, she`s off to build houses for the less fortunate. It doesn`t take Mia long to realize that helping others - while an unimpeachably noble pastime - is very hard work. Will her giving spirit prevail? Will the house collapse due to royally clumsy construction? And most importantly, will Michael stop working long enough to kiss her? What comes between Volumes IV and V of "The Princess Diaries?" Volume IV and a Half, of course!
"The princess may try seven times to escape - by changing her colour and changing her shape." But each time Princess Eliza changes - into a blue fish, a yellow chick, a red fox or a black cat - the wicked wizard finds her and sets her another horrible task. Will this plucky princess be able to outwit him and escape back to the palace in time to cut her birthday cake?
