How To Be Popular Synopsis
Steph Landry's been a high school pariah - and the butt of every joke imaginable - ever since she spilt her red Super Big Gulp all over 'It Girl' Lauren Moffat's white D&G mini-skirt. But now, Steph's got a secret weapon - an ancient book, "How To Be Popular", which her soon-to-be step-grandmother once used to break in to her A-crowd.

Meg Cabot married financial writer and poet Benjamin D. Egnatz on April 1, 1993.

In May 2006, the Harvard Crimson released reports that 19-year-old author Kaavya Viswanathan borrowed passages from Cabot's Princess Diaries series, and other books, to place in her novel How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life. Viswanathan's novels were subsequently pulled from the shelves.
