The Princess Diaries is a classic for a reason. Even 25 years later, the 'ugly duckling' transformation works because Mia is a mess throughout the whole thing.
It’s not brain rot; it’s a smart, funny look at a girl trying to keep her head above water while her world turns upside down. If your kid liked the movie, the book is a must-read—it has way more character and a lot more NYC attitude.
