Once Upon a Marigold by Jean Ferris

Are you craving an action-packed medieval comedy? Then, read Once Upon a Marigold by Jean Ferris. This story is about a young boy named Christian who runs away from his parents and is taken in by a troll in a forest! Now, Christian has grown up and has started being an inventor. He uses his inventions to spy on the King Swithbert and the royal family and slowly falls in love with the youngest and only unmarried daughter of the king, Marigold. Christian secretly p-mails (a pigeon mail service) Marigold under a secret identity and discovers she has a mysterious power Christian soon starts working in the palace to be near Marigold and hears the Queen’s perilous plot to grab the kingdom and killing Marigold. The queen will spare her only if she marries the not too bright men that the queen has chosen. My favorite part was when Princess Marigold tries to get the men to leave because Marigold always does something rude, like pick her nose in front of the guests. Will Christian save Marigold and find out about her secret power, find out about his mysterious past, and prove the queen and her slimy ferret are not as innocent as everyone thinks? Find out in Once Upon a Marigold by Jean Ferris.
