Book Review: Once Upon a Marigold

This book, written by Jean Ferris is a delightfully funny fairy tale... I loved it, and I'm a teenager. :)

The Summary:
Christian and Edric the Troll's paths cross one day when Christian runs away from his uptight family. Determined never to go back, Christian makes Edric and his two dogs, Beezlebub and Hecate, his family. They live a good life until Christian falls in love with Princess Marigold and decides that he should see more of the world -- the world around Marigold's castle. When Christian discovers a plot against Marigold and her father, he enlists his family to help break out of prison, prevent Marigold's arranged marriage, foil Queen Olympia's murderous plot, reunite several families, and reveal his true and forgotten identity. Oh, and learn about Princess Marigold's curse! (summary taken from commonsensemedia.org/)

Violence:

My Opinion:
This book was so cute, and absolutely hysterical. The main character tends to blend together expressions, which is of course, fun because you have to stop and think about what the correct expression is. 
I've always loved fairy tales, but after awhile they start to blend together.
Unless you REALLY know what you're doing. 
The person who wrote this book knew what they were doing. I mean for heaven's sake, it says on the cover of the book "Part Comedy, Part Love Story, Part Everything- but-the-kitchen-sink."
It's funny from the time you pick up to the book to the time you close it... and it's just so darn CUTE! The perfect book for pre-teens... and teens :)


Annnndddd!!!! There's a sequel!! I just got it, and I'm about to start reading it! :)
