The Princess Diaries (Princess Diaries, #1)

This book simply must be read. It is the perfect blend of the innocence of the nerdiness of childhood and the overcharged maturely and sense of sexuality that confronts one in high school. Honestly the best YA series I have ever read, though it does decline in quality a little towards the end. There are so many pop culture references that I am constantly gaining new insight every time I reread. My first time reading this I was in fourth grade- I am still loving it over a decade later. You'll get something new out of it after every reading, yet it holds the comfort of a candid childhood friend.
