I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely and wonderful Meg Cabot for the first time at a book event recently. I learned some pretty cool stuff about her and her work, so I thought I’d do up a quiz here to test your knowledge.

For the unfamiliar: Meg Cabot is best known for her series The Princess Diaries. She was born in Indiana, but now calls several places home, including Key West, Florida. She writes stories for kiddos and teens and adults. Some of the events in her books even have ties to her own life, like the bit in Princess Diaries where Mia’s mom started dating her teacher.
