What on earth is that princess up to now?
Hammer in hand, Princess Mia embarks on an epicadventure 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 Vof The Princess Diaries? Volume IV and a Half, of course!
Meg Cabot is the author of the best-selling, critically acclaimed Princess Diaries books, which were made into the wildly popular Disney movies of the same name. Her other books for teens include the Mediator series, the 1-800-Where- R-You books, All-American Girl, Ready or Not, Teen Idol, and Avalon High, as well as Nicola and the Viscount and Victoria and the Rogue. She also writes books for adults, including The Boy Next Door, Boy Meets Girl, Every Boy's Got One, and Size 12 Is Not Fat. She is still waiting for her real parents, the king and queen, to restore her to her rightful throne. She lives in Key West and New York City with her husband and a one-eyed cat named Henrietta.

Disappointing,
By Emma (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Princess Diaries Volume Iv And A Half: Project Princess (Mass Market Paperback)
I used to love the Princess Diaries series--they were my favorite books. But after book number three, I must say I am losing interest. Meg says that she would like to follow Mia through high school, but who would want to read while Mia becomes more and more shallow and snooty. She freaks out about the simplest things, like her boyfriend not being interested in making out with her. She is becoming the epitome of the teenage stereotype--sex-crazed, arrogant, and self-centered. I have to say that the books have lost their pizazz, their charm, and their funny wit that used to make me laugh out loud. This book is an extremely fast read, mostly focusing on Mia complaining about the fact that Michael won't kiss her constantly. I admire Meg Cabot as a writer, and have enjoyed her other books such as "Haunted" and "She Went All the Way." This series, however, is getting very old very fast.

The misinformed spout off...again!,
By David L. Richardson (Sumerduck, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Princess Diaries Volume Iv And A Half: Project Princess (Mass Market Paperback)
First of all, this is a great book;like the other four volumes! The story is very entertaining as always, and doesn't deserve all the criticism it's been getting. I think it's great that Meg Cabot plans to write about ALL of Mia's highschool career! Another great thing is that the profit from the sales of this book are going to a worthy cause to help people; not just to the author as some seem to think. The "Princess Diaries" books are great and I hope there are many more to come!

Not worth the $$,
By Allison (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Princess Diaries Volume Iv And A Half: Project Princess (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved all the other Princess Diary books, but I think that this one was bad. There didn't seem to be much point in it, considering there was a bit more than 50 pages. Even the plot isn't that good."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?" I think it would have been better if Meg Cabot had combined this with another book or just had not published it all. Hopefully other books by Cabot will be better.
