Mia is just starting her sophmore year of high school and already things are falling apart. Her best friend nominated her for student council president, she's worried about her new baby brother, and she's worried her college boyfriend expects her to DO IT. On top of all that, there's an international incident involving snails and algae. What's a princess to do?

Another great installment of the series. I especially loved when she ragged on the two Disney movie versions of her life.
