    • 2008 June 15, Lauren Mechling, “Allie Finkle, Age 9”, in New York Times[1]:
      Meg Cabot, chronic capitalizer and reigning grande dame of teenage chick lit, has too many best-selling series to keep track of — there’s the reluctant princess in the “Princess Diaries” books, the reluctant communicator with the dead in “The Mediator,” the reluctant national hero in “All-American Girl,” and so on (at last count Cabot, at age 41, has 54 books out, a handful of them geared for grown-up girls).
