《公主日记》是梅格·卡伯特的一部青春文学系列作品，讲述的是少女阿梅莉亚·“米娅”·泰梅波莉斯的传奇故事。米娅就读于阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦高中，与非常开明的单亲妈妈生活在一起。她的人生因为父亲的一次到访而彻底改变。原来，她的父亲被诊断出患有癌症，无法再生育。鉴于此，他才终于告诉了米娅一个他和米娅的母亲以及祖母隐瞒了多年的秘密：他其实是吉诺维亚公国（系作者虚构）的国王。由于他患病需要接受治疗，米娅如今成了该国的公主兼王储。

一开始听到这个消息的时候，米娅并不愿意受命出任公主，统治吉诺维亚。她还担心这一新身份会让她在学校遭到孤立，因此宁愿只做一个普普通通的少女。在该系列书中，米娅后来慢慢地适应了公主这一身份，并接受了成为一国之君的想法。

小编推荐理由

每个女孩心中都有一个成为公主的梦想。我们会梦想着自己从丑小鸭变成白天鹅，梦想着自己从灰姑娘变成白雪公主。尽管渐渐长大的我们慢慢明白，童话故事之所以美丽，是因为现实里很少有童话故事。于是，我们和米娅一样，只是单纯地做着梦，从未想过这个梦想有朝一日会成真。当梦想真的变成现实，一切还会如童话故事般那么美好吗？公主的身份会引来别人的羡慕，却也可能会招来别人的排斥。优雅的言谈举止会让人看起来高贵，但这份高贵的背后付出的可能是失去真正的自己。我们可能只注意到了公主的光环，而从未考虑过成为公主需要肩负的责任。或许对你我来说，这是一个梦想成真的故事。但对米娅来说，这是一次成长的蜕变，也是一曲青春的赞歌。

经典语句

* I am so NOT a princess ... You never saw anyone who looked less like a princess than I do.

我是如此不像一位公主……你从未见过任何人看上去比我更不像公主。
