Meg Cabot

From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess Meg Cabot

Olivia Grace Clarisse Mignonette Harrison is a completely average twelve-year-old: average height, average weight, average brown hair of average length, average brown skin, and average hazel eyes. The only things about her that aren't average are her name (too long and princess-themed), her ability to draw animals (useful for her future career as a wildlife illustrator), and the fact that she is a half orphan who's never met her father and is forced to live with her aunt and uncle (who treat her almost like their own kids, so she can't complain). Until the completely average day that everything goes wrong: The most popular girl in school, Annabelle Jenkins, threatens to beat her up, the principal gives her a demerit, and she's knocked down at the bus stop... then a limo containing Princess Mia Thermopolis of Genovia pulls up to invite Olivia to New York to finally meet her father, who promptly suggests she come live with him, Mia, Grandmáere, and their two fabulous poodles. Maybe Olivia Grace Clarisse Mignonette Harrison isn't so average after all!
