A fines del siglo XIX –un tiempo de cambios en el que la ciencia reina sobre el pensamiento– la ciudad de Londres es el centro mismo de la civilización occidental. Pero sus calles oscuras han sido invadidas por un vampiro: una criatura sobrenatural, venida de regiones remotas, decidida a apoderarse de un mundo que apenas puede comprenderla. Usando los medios a su alcance, sus adversarios la persiguen y a la vez van contando su historia: la del Conde Drácula, monstruo y seductor. Los autores actuales le tienen miedo: Anne Rice dice que miente, Stephenie Meyer insiste en que nunca la leyó…, y sin embargo, ninguna (igual que ninguno de los que escriben hoy sobre el vampiro) puede evitar su influencia. Todos terminan, tarde o temprano, hablando de este libro de Bram Stoker y su personaje tremendo. Drácula es una de las grandes iniciadoras, una de las novelas más auténticamente originales de la historia de la literatura.

Mia Thermopolis is an average urban ninth grader. She lives in Greenwich Village with her single, liberal mother, who is a semi-famous painter, but Mia puts on her Doc Martens one at a time, and the most exciting things she ever dreams about are kissing senior Josh Richter (six feet of hotness) and passing Algebra. Mias father comes to town and drops a major bomb: hes not just a European politician as hes always led her to believe, but actually the prince of a small country. And Mia, his only heir, is now considered the crown princess of Genovia. She doesnt even know how to begin to cope: I am so NOT a princess.... You never saw anyone who looked less like a princess than I do. I mean, I have really bad hair... and... a really big mouth and no breasts and feet that look like skis. Mias troubles are worsened: her mother has started dating her algebra teacher (Frank Gianini), the paparazzi are showing up at school, and she has a fight with her best friend Lilly. After this they dont talk for a while and become distant from each other. Mia goes to her Grandméres Plaza Hotel room in order to begin princess training, where she starts to develop into a great princess. Throughout the story Mia also makes another friend named Tina, who is shunned because of her overprotective father, who makes her have a bodyguard.
