Summary

#1 New York Times bestselling author Meg Cabot's first middle-grade series continues!

The fourth grade puts on a play written by Mrs. Hunter! Allie is sure she will walk away with the most coveted role - that of the princess, naturally - but one of her friends gets the part! What Allie doesn't realize is that the part she does get - that of the evil queen - is actually a better (and bigger) role. But Allie isn't content with just starring in the play. She goes full-on method and borrows some false eyelashes to wear for the play, which (what else is new?) causes a great deal of excited controversy. Allie learns it's not the size of the part, it's the size of the heart that matters.

Author Notes

Meg Cabot was born in Bloomington, Indiana on February 1, 1967. She recieved a fine arts degree from Indiana University, Meg moved to New York City, intent upon pursuing a career in freelance illustration. Illustrating, however, soon got in the way of Meg's true love, writing, and so she abandoned it and got a job as the assistant manager of an undergraduate dormitory at New York University, and writing on the weekends.

Meg wrote both The Princess Diaries and The Mediator: Shadowland (under the name Jenny Carroll), the first books in two series for young adults which happen to be about, among other things, teenage girls dealing with unsettling family issues. Her latest book is entitled, Insatiable.

Meg now writes full time, and lives in Key West, Florida with her husband.

Booklist Review

Allie initially longs for the lead in the fourth-grade class play, Princess Penelope in the Realm of Recycling, but soon wonders whether the conventional princess role is what she really wants. Coaching from Uncle Jay helps her shine onstage, while dealing with classmates helps her discover a few new rules for girls. Written in a convincingly childlike voice, Allie's appealing first-person narrative features wry observations of the foibles, actions, emotions, and relationships of both the children and the adults in her life. Another entertaining entry in the Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls series.--Phelan, Carolyn Copyright 2009 Booklist
