Wicked Marigold - Caroline Carlson

Descriere Wicked Marigold - Caroline Carlson

A People Magazine Best Books for Summer Selection A richly imagined middle-grade examination of sibling dynamics with plenty of endearing fantasy elements. --People Magazine In a funny and charming fantastical romp, overlooked Princess Marigold is nothing like her perfect, just-returned sister--so she runs away to an evil wizard's tower to prove her wickedness. Princess Marigold--who hadn't yet been born when the remarkable Princess Rosalind was kidnapped--is eleven when the unthinkable happens: her older sister escapes her captivity and comes home. Marigold has always known she's not as good, sweet, or kind as the sister everyone adores, but amid the celebration of Rosalind's return, Marigold realizes something new: if Princess Rosalind is good, then Princess Marigold must be wicked. And there's no place for wickedness in the kingdom. When Marigold tries to find a new place for herself in an evil wizard's fortress, though, the results are disastrous. Before she's even learned to cackle or scowl properly, she gets tangled up in a magical plot to ruin all the Cacophonous Kingdoms. Is Marigold too wicked to make things right? Or can she--with the help of a kitchen boy, a well-dressed imp, and a grumpy blob of glop--find her own way to restore peace? This endearing fantasy will have princess and anti-princess fans alike chuckling and cheering. \nA People Magazine Best Books for Summer Selection \n \nA richly imagined middle-grade examination of sibling dynamics with plenty of endearing fantasy elements. --People Magazine \n \nIn a funny and charming fantastical romp, overlooked Princess Marigold is nothing like her perfect, just-returned sister--so she runs away to an evil wizard's tower to prove her wickedness.
