|summary=The author of the hugely successful ''Princess Diaries'' has written a brand-new series for younger girls, telling the story of awkward middle-school student Olivia Grace. She discovers that her father is actually the Prince of Genovia, making her...a princess! Not everyone responds well to the news, however, and poor Olivia is soon thrown into a world of jealous bullies, intrusive paparazzi, disgruntled relatives and a whole new family she never knew existed.

|summary=At the beginning of the 20th century Dubai was a small port town, home to traders, fishermen and pearl divers and it was here that Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum was born in 1949 in a house with no electricity or running water. He's now the Prime Minister and Vice President of the United Arab Emirates and ruler of Dubai. It's his vision and driving force which is behind the transformation of Dubai into a major global city, tourist destination and trading centre. When you have regard to the unrest and volatility in much of the Middle East, what has been achieved in Dubai is extraordinary and the opportunity to read Sheikh Mohammed's thoughts on governance, leadership and life was not one to be passed up lightly, particularly as he's not a man to give interviews very often.
