표지가 두꺼운 판지나 보드지가 아닌 비교적 얇은 종이를 사용해서 만든 책이며, 실박음질 대신에 풀로 제본처리하는 경우가 많습니다. 일반적으로 하드커버나 보드북에 비해서 가격이 저렴합니다. 소프트커버로 불리우기도 합니다. 책의 이음새 부분이 접히거나 휘는 내구성이 그리 좋지는 않은 책입니다.

Book Description
Things are looking up for Mia: She's the newest staffer on the school paper, and her miraculous completion of freshman Algebra is just around the corner. Plus she's about to get a new baby brother or sister. Could things possibly get any better? But in her heart of hearts, Mia has one wish: an evening spent with Michael in a tux and a corsage on her wrist, in other words, the PROM. Michael, however, does not seem to share the dream that is the prom. Worse still, a service workers strike (with Grandmere and Lilly at the heart of it and on opposite sides) threatens the very existence of this year's prom. Will the strike end in time? Can Michael be dissuaded from his anti-prom views? Most importantly, will Mia get to wear her pink prom dress?
Publishers Weekly
In the fifth book in the Princess Diaries series, high school drama centers on the prom for Mia Thermopolis and her friends. A citywide strike threatens the very existence of the prom and various friendships are tested.
Children's Literature
The princess market is thriving, as Cabot's widely-selling series has proven. Readers will envy the life of a princess living in New York City with a burly bodyguard to escort her to school in a limo and a brilliant senior boyfriend who suffers detention in order to sing his song to her in the middle of class. This series addition is strong on good writing and humor but weak on plot. Mia stews passively for most of the novel over her boyfriend's failure to invite her to the prom. Grandmere's dog causes havoc in a restaurant, a silly incident that promotes a socially conscious subplot concerning the status of service workers in the city. Cabot lightly touches on the theme that life is rife with ethical dilemmas, which may enlighten the materialistic reader. Mia herself barely escapes devoting her summer to princess duties in her tiny country. The diary form is effective in rendering the instant messages and scribbled notes circulating among Mia and friends, but becomes awkward at moments of crisis. And the verbal play often seems beyond the capacity of the heroine, who is presented as an ordinary student. The mild sexual content, limited to Mia's hopes of getting to second base, and the absence of drug use will relieve parents. But real freshmen who date seniors are likely to experience greater sexual pressure. An entertaining addition to the popular series.
VOYA
In this fifth volume of the Princess Diaries, Mia Thermopolis returns as the well-known New York teen-turned-princess. This time around, Mia contrives to convince now-boyfriend Michael Moscovitz to take her to the prom, even though he has no inclination to go. But normal teen angst is not all that a princess has to face. Mia struggles to return New York to working order after her grandmother's dog trips a busboy and gets him fired. Mia's best friend Lilly takes on his cause and creates a standstill in food services throughout the city. And if that is not enough, Mia must talk her father into not forcing her to spend the summer in Genovia-and away from Michael-while she anxiously awaits the birth of her new sibling. Life as a princess is never easy. Fans will flock to pick this latest edition off the shelves. Cabot returns with the same wit and humor as her loyal readers have come to expect. One might wonder, however, how much longer Mia will struggle with her royal crown. Her antics are still highly entertaining, but little happens to help Mia grow as a person in this latest edition. In fact, Mia gets most of the solutions to her problems handed to her. Still readers identify with Mia as a regular teen-albeit a princess-and will love her frank dialogue. This one is a must-have for libraries looking to boost their summer reading collection. VOYA CODES: 4Q 5P M J (Better than most, marred only by occasional lapses; Every YA (who reads) was dying to read it yesterday; Middle School, defined as grades 6 to 8; Junior High, defined as grades 7 to 9)
KLIATT
To quote the review of the hardcover in KLIATT, March 2004: Starting a new Princess Diaries book is like opening a box of chocolates. It's springtime in Manhattan, and high school freshman Mia, who is also the heir to the throne of the principality of Genovia&, is turning 15. There's a lot on her mind, as usual, in this latest entry in the droll and lively series, and Mia's diary entries fill us in on all the details. An incident in a restaurant with Mia's imperious grandmother has led to the firing of a busboy and a consequent citywide hotel, restaurant and porters union strike, incited by Mia's best friend Lilly. Lilly has also taken up with the handsome busboy and dumped her sweet but nerdy boyfriend, Boris. Mia's mother is about to have a baby, so home life is hormonally charged. And Mia's boyfriend, Michael, shows no interest whatsoever in going to the prom, to Mia's dismay. The fun is in the telling; as my 16-year-old daughter, a fan of the series, commented, the plot isn't really the point. Giddy fun for a female audience; will appeal to younger or less mature teens not quite ready for the more adult Gossip Girl novels. (The Princess Diaries, Volume V). KLIATT Codes: JS8212;Recommended for junior and senior high school students.
School Library Journal
In volume five in the series, Princess Mia has a new problem to overcome-how to get to the senior prom when boyfriend Michael thinks it's the height of lame. More drama erupts when Grandmere brings her poodle to Mia's 15th birthday party at a fancy restaurant. He gets loose, a busboy from Nepal gets fired, Mia's best friend starts a protest on his behalf, and the subsequent restaurant workers' strike shuts down the entire food and hotel industry, including the prom venue. Grandmere refuses to take responsibility, but finds an alternate prom site, and Mia manages to get the gig for Michael's new band. Thus, she gets to go to the prom. Fans will eat up this newest installment in the life of a teenage royal, and they won't mind Mia's whining and often shallow insistence on the importance of the dance over a fight that might end her long-standing friendship with her best friend, and Grandmere's immature behavior. Mia is an engaging if sometimes not very memorable heroine, and the conversational tone of the diary entries makes this a fun, lighthearted read. |

 핑크빛 드레서 입고 싶은 Mia |

뉴욕의 평범한 여고생이 어느날 갑자기, 유럽 제노비아 왕국의 공주 겸 왕위 계승자라는 사실이 밝혀지면서 겪게 되는 에피소드 모음집. 다섯번째 이야기죠.
역시 계속 일기형식이네요.
학교 신문사의 새로운 기자가 된 Mia.
모든 일이 순조롭게 돌아가고, 이제 남은 소원은 단 하나, 학교 댄스파티에 턱시도(tux)를 입은 'Michael'과 함께 참석하는 것 - 특히 아름다운 분홍빛 드레스(her pink prom dress)를 입고, 가슴에는 코사지(corsage)를 달고.
핑크 무도복까지 미리 준비해 두지만, 두 세가지 문제가 있네요.
첫째, 호텔파업으로 인해 파티를 할 수나 있을지 불투명해지는데, 다시 협상이 재개되어 prom 댄스파티가 가능할것인가.
둘째, 신세대 청년 마이클은 볼링장보다 댄스파티를 좋아할까.
세째, 할머니 스프 사건과 친구들과의 화해.
전전긍긍하는 Mia의 모습이 귀엽네요.
'내면에 잠재되어 있는 자신감을 찾도록 노력해야 한다.'는 메시지는 여전하군요.
