Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Christian is gaga for Princess Marigold. But he's just a commoner, and no match for royalty. Heck, he lives in a cave with a troll! And now he's discovered another reason to put his love-soggy heart on ice: Queen Olympia is scheming to take over the kingdom--and she'll bump off her own daughter to do it. Can Christian foil her diabolical plans?
Review:
"A boy raised by a troll decides to see the world one day and discovers that lovely Princess Marigold, with whom he has corresponded, is about to become betrothed. 'The author breathes new life into archetypal characters by adding unexpected and often humorous dimensions to their personalities,' wrote PW. Ages 10-up. (June)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Synopsis:
In this witty spoof of fairy tales, Christian, a commoner, falls for Princess Marigold, and it's up to him to untwist an odd love triangle and foil a scheming queen who wants to take over the kingdom.

If I were back in middle school I could write one heck of a book report on this book! There are so many different areas to analyze. For instance, you could trace the different fairytale character types that are portrayed, and link them to the traditional tales; or you could look for the mixed metaphores that Christian has learned from his Dad, the troll. And what's more, you would have fun reading the story! This is fun for parents and teens alike.
