About this listen

 Happily-ever-after turned upside down, inside out, and completely over the top! Christian is gaga for Princess Marigold. He's just a commoner, though, 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 Marigold to do it! Can Chris foil her diabolical plans?©2004 Jean Ferris (P)2007 Listen and Live Audio, Inc.

Critic reviews

"In 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." (Publishers Weekly)

"This complex, fast-paced plot, a mixture of fantasy, romance, comedy, and coming-of-age novel, succeeds because these characters are compelling, well developed, and sympathetic." (School Library Journal)

Just finished listening to this for my second time through, first time for my 8-year old son. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Narrated very well at a nice pace. Satisfying story. I liked the slightly fairytale world it was set in. It was also fun spotting Ed's muddled up idioms. My son has already started reading the sequel to himself, which we have in paperback!

Thoroughly enjoyable
