Publisher's summary

Never before has the world seen such a princess. Nor have her own subjects, for that matter. Mia's royal introduction to Genovia has mixed results: while her fashion sense is widely applauded, her position on the installation of public parking meters is met with resistance.

But the politics of bureaucracy are nothing next to Mia's real troubles. Between canceled dates with her long-sought-after royal consort, a second semester of the dreaded Algebra, more princess lessons from Grandmere as a result of the Genovian parking-meter thing, and the inability to stop gnawing on her fingernails, isn't there anything Mia is good at besides inheriting an unwanted royal title?

Listen to the whole Princess Diaries series.

Great sequel and Performance!

This was a very good story to listen to. The story was really good and the narrator did a very good job! would recommend to anyone and will get more stories narrated by Clea Lewis.

Please bring back Anne Hathaway

The narrator's voice is grating compared to Anne Hathaway's performance for books 1-3. Definitely would have preferred someone with a softer voice so there's some continuity between books.

Sorry…the narration is bad

Anne Hathaway has left major shoes to fill and Clea Lewis doesn’t. The new narration is whiny, and it’s making it impossible to enjoy it. Is this book the diaries of a 15 year old girl? Yes. But the voice isn’t it.

The narrator is terrible

The narrator is quite annoying to listen to. I’d enjoyed the books when Anne Hathaway was narrating them, but now that they’ve changed to this other woman it’s unbearable to listen to. I won’t even be finishing the series as audio books. I’ll be getting paper copies just to not listen to her.

Ugh, narration is rough.

It’s a hard trick to pick up the performance after Anne Hathaway, but good lord this narrator is obnoxious. She reads it in the squeakiest, irritating voice. I was planning on downloading the whole series, but I can’t listen to this narrator any more.

new reader of the book

I liked anne Hathaway reading the first four book but this new lady does a fantastic job of doing male and female voices. something anne never quite got across. I hope the new girl reads the rest of the series!

Narrators voice is screeching

I love these books but it was painful to listen to this voice. Praying the next is better.
