The trilogy finale! âA tale well-stocked with broadly drawn characters and fairy-tale conventions knocked slightly askew . . . A delicious confection.â âKirkus Reviews  Princess Poppy, the bouncing baby daughter of Queen Marigold and King Christian of Zandelphia-Beaurivage, is in terrible danger. The kingdomâs former torturer-in-chief and poisoner-in-chief have joined forces to kidnap the baby as an act of revenge for their exile! Can a ragtag parade of rescuersâincluding the king and queen, the evil kidnappersâ mortified children, five dogs, a white elephant, and a washed-up wizardâsave Princess Poppy in time?  âAn upbeat fairy-tale adventure, this final installment in the trilogy is sure to entertain fans of the first two books . . . The story is filled with humor, both witty and ridiculous.â âSchool Library Journal  âFerris leisurely combines elements of adventure, fantasy, romance, and humor.â âBooklist
