About this book
Mia hides her real feelings as she takes care of her disastrously disorganised mother, until her absent father drops a bombshell: She is actually Princess Amelia of Genovia, a small principality in Europe.
This is not just a story about the fun of dressing up and being chauffeured around, but also a telling social commentary on the challenge of learning how to be true to yourself.
