Princess Diana saved my life. My name is Diana Moore and I'm the kind of girl who doesn't stand out in the crowd. Average height. Average brown hair. the only thing not average about me is that I seem to land in trouble on a regular basis. My Mum died suddenly over a year ago. She left me with a stepfather who is a loser and his loudmouth son, Marcus. If it weren't for Babs and my letters to Princess Diana, I'd be crazy by now. On the tenth anniversary of Princess Diana's death comes this powerful novel about the power of celebrity, and growing up the hard way. Letters to a Princess was commended in the Society of Women Writers of NSW bi-annual awards.

Libby Hathorn
Author · 21 books
Libby Hathorn is an Australian writer who produces poetry, picture books, drama, novels, short stories, and nonfiction for children, young adults, and adults. Best known in the United States for her critically acclaimed novel Thunderwith, Hathorn has created works ranging from serious stories of troubled youth to lighthearted, fast-paced comedies. She writes of powerful female characters in her novels for junior readers, such as the protagonists in All about Anna and The Extraordinary Magics of Emma McDade; or of lonely, misunderstood teenagers in novels such as Feral Kid, Love Me Tender, and Valley under the Rock. As Maurice Saxby noted in St. James Guide to Children's Writers, "In her novels for teenagers especially, Hathorn exposes, with compassion, sensitivity, and poetry the universal and ongoing struggle of humanity to heal hurts, establish meaningful relationships, and to learn to accept one's self—and ultimately—those who have wronged us."
