Une collection donnant à suivre les aventures que partagent Charlotte, Katie, Daisy, Alice, Sophie et Émilie dans l'enceinte de la prestigieuse Princesse Academy, une institution pour princesses modèles. Les héroïnes se partagent la narration, levant le voile sur les cours (dragonologie, haute couture royale, cuisine fine, sortilèges appliqués, maintien et élégance, etc.), les moments de complicité, les rivalités entre les diverses "chambres" (l'équivalent des "maisons" de "Harry Potter"), les bals, les voeux réalisés par Marraine Fée (l'enchanteresse et intendante de l'établissement), l'austérité de la directrice, le stress lié à l'obtention des Points Diadème (qui sont gages de bonne conduite, donnent droit à des privilèges et permettent aux étudiantes d'accéder à un niveau d'enseignement supérieur), les tenues, etc. -- De nombreuses aquarelles, campant les héroïnes (émules de "Barbie") dans un univers rose bonbon tout à fait stéréotypé, agrémentent cette première lecture dont la couverture est ornée d'étoiles argentées.
