THE PRINCESS DIARIES

Meg Cabot

ISBN: 0380814021
304 pages

As the hilariously funny tale called The Princess Diaries begins, Mia Thermopolis is just a regular high
school freshman at Albert Einstein High School. Well, as regular as you can be when you live in a loft in
downtown New York with your flighty artist Mom. And as regular as you can be when your best friend is
Lilly, a punky and spunky militant who produces her own TV show.

As readers can guess from the title, this book takes the form of a diary, written by Mia. Over the pan of a
month, she relates her daily woes and embarrassments in heart breaking detail. As with most teenaged
girls, Mia thinks she is hopeless, looks-wise. She's tall --- 5’9" --- and klutzy, and not so gifted in the chest
department.

Then there is school. One of Mia’s biggest problems is the fact she is flunking Algebra and, to make
matters worse, her Mom has begun dating her teacher. Gross.

In the boy department, the cutest one in school has the locker next to hers, but doesn't even know Mia
exists, even as his snooty girlfriend Lana, a popular cheerleader, torments her. And to top it off, Mia is
developing some sort of weird crush on Michael, Lilly’s computer nerd brother.

Then one day, Mia finds out she is a princess. Okay, I know that doesn’t sound bad to most girls, but Mia
hates the idea instantly. How does this fairy tale come true? Her father is ruler of the principality of
Genovia and since Mia is his only child, she is next in line to the throne. Her dad sends in the big guns to
convince Mia that being a princess is what she is meant to do: her formidable grandmother comes to
New York to give Mia "Princess Lessons". And as the word spreads around Albert Einstein High School
that Mia is royalty, her life just gets more crazy.

The ending of The Princess Diaries is a twisty one and will leave you jonesing for more stories of Mia and
the rest of her friends.

CAPTAIN PHILLIPS

Captain Phillips is an upcoming 2013 American biographical action thriller film directed by Paul
Greengrass based upon the book, A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous days at
Sea, by Richard Phillips with Stephan Tatty, and starring Tom Hanks. It is produced by Scott Rudin, Dana
Brunetti, and Michael De Luca. The film tells a biopic of merchant mariner Captain Richard Phillips, who
was taken hostage for several days by Somali Pirates when the container ship Maersk Alabama which
sailed from southern Oman drown along the coast of Somalia and then to Kenya was hijacked in 2009.

Captain Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks), a veteran merchant mariner, still lives in his native New England,
and he's a plainspoken family man full of anxiety about the economically bleak new world his kids are
facing. When his wife (Chaterine Keener) drops him off at the airport, we can see reverse her. The film
then cuts to Somalia, a land of dust and poverty, where the pirates are recruited for their mission as if
they were migrant farm workers lining up to be chosen for that day's labor. Greengrass doesn't have to
fill in much about the violent, chaotic breakdown of Somalia to let us know that these men have little
choice.

The film does not generate quite the same level of excruciating suspense as some of Greengrass'
previous triumphs, but it nonetheless holds us hostage as it proceeds. As for the four Somali immigrants,
they are remarkably effective in their first professional acting gigs.
