The Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot continues to be phenomenally successful fifteen years since its first publication. After topping the US and UK best-seller lists for weeks and winning several awards, Meg was crowned the 'reigning grande dame of teenage chick lit' by The New York Times Book Review. Two films produced by Disney based on the series have been hugely popular throughout the world. Meg Cabot has written many books for children, teenagers and adults, including the bestselling Abandon series, All American Girl books, Teen Idol, Avalon High, Nicola and the Viscount and The Mediator series. Meg Cabot (her last name rhymes with habit, as in 'her books can be habit forming') currently lives in Key West, Florida with her husband and two cats.
