Here is Claire's winning answer:

I remember the first time that I read ‘The Princess Diaries’. I’d seen the film of the book, like most young children and I fell love Mia and Fat Louie right away, I still laugh at my feeble attempts at drawing Fat Louie in my notebooks! Mia was a role model to me; she was young, bright and way out of her depth and by the time I started reading the series I was 11 years old and about to go into Secondary School. My Dad used to go away with work a lot and actually bought me the first book, which I devoured. Mia seemed more real on paper, she wasn’t just a film character.. she was letting me read her diary! I quickly saved up my small amount of pocket money up to buy the other books and asked for some of them for my birthday until I’d read them all. I truly do believe that these books were a big part of my childhood, Mia was a big sister that I never got.. she was cool, calm and collected; yet she did get scared at times and as a young teenager it made me feel okay to be afraid and scared of growing up. Fat Louie was the pet cat that I could never had.. I recall that I once changed my MSN name to Fat Louie, just to be like Mia! I still love those books and they still provide so much comfort to me.

amazing! definitely deserved to win because you explained how the books made me feel in those brilliant sentences you wrote. Sorry about your dad being away a lot but at least you discovered Mia's welcoming arms to embrace you for your childhood. :)

Hi Ashely This book should be available from shops such as Amazon or Waterstones. You could also enquire in your local library - most libraries can order book in for you. Good Luck!
