Christian, a 17 year-old boy, who lives with a troll, has for ten watched through a telescope the princesses in the neighboring kingdom. He was watched them grow up and get married, all but one, Marigold. Marigold is a smart beautiful princess who has the gift to read peoples' minds when she touches them. People do not know the secret of this gift, so they avoid her, which makes her sad and lonely. Her father is the one person who does not avoid his daughter. King Swithbert is a very sick man who is humble and kind to everyone. Queen Olympia, Marigold's mother, is trying to find a young prince to marry her daughter so that she can rule the kingdom.
One day while watching Marigold, Christian decides to contact her via p-mail
(carrier pigeon). She responds to his question and so their friendship begins.
Once upon a Marigold is about love and friendship. It shows a friendship grow in to love. This book has a clever plot with many humorous and surprising twists and turns. Jean Ferris created detailed characters with interesting personalities.

Summary: Once Upon A Marigold
Comment: Once Upon a Marigold, written by Jean Ferris, is a great fantasy book. On the front cover it is described as "part comedy, part love story, part everything-but-the-kitchen-sink". When I saw it I immediately wanted to read it.
Once Upon a Marigold is the story of a princess and a runaway boy who lives with a troll. The princess, Marigold, is lonely until she gets a letter from Christopher. They learn all about each other by exchanging letters. When Marigold is being forced to marry a silly prince, Christopher is determined to save her.
I really enjoyed this book. It had funny characters and a wonderful ending. Jean Ferris's writing reminds me of Gail Carson Levine's, which I love. There are quite a few books that I dislike and this is definitely not one of them.

Summary: I loved this book
Comment: I loved this book. If your a big fan of fairy tales and stuff like that you would like this book. I know people are saying it was a bit corney, but I enjoy stuff like that even though I didn't find this book to be a bit corney. I'm not a big fan of reading seeing that I'm only 13 but I got this book and I finished it in a day, I couldn't put it down! I was even reading it at dinner!
