The acclaimed Marigold series in one volume. âA mixture of fantasy, romance, comedy, and coming-of-age . . . and itâs all great fun.â âSchool Library Journal  Once upon a Marigold, a fairy tale turned upside down, inside out, and completely over the top! Join Christian and Marigold through their one-of-a-kind adventures in this trilogy of tales thatâs part comedy, part love story, part everything-but-the-kitchen-sink.  With echoes of William Goldmanâs modern classic The Princess Bride, Jean Ferrisâs hilarious parody of âOnce upon a time . . .â overflows with oddball characters and sage observations to create a happily-ever-after thatâs just the beginning.  Once Upon a Marigold was named an ALA Notable Childrenâs Book, an ALA Best Book for Young Adults, and a New York Public Library 100 Books for Reading and Sharing title.  Praise for the Marigold series  âIn a gratifying fantasy that contains elements of classic fairy tales, Ferris breathes new life into archetypal characters by adding unexpected and often humorous dimensions to their personalities.â âPublishers Weekly  âCold indeed is the heart not made warm by this bubbly fairy-tale romance.â âKirkus Reviews  âFerris leisurely combines elements of adventure, fantasy, romance, and humor.â âBooklist  âAn upbeat fairy-tale adventure.â âSchool Library Journal
