Wicked Marigold

Reviews / Votes

A richly imagined middle-grade examination of sibling dynamics with plenty of endearing fantasy elements. * PEOPLE * Wicked Marigold is a delightful blend of whimsy and wisdom, a fairy-tale caper that delves into the heart of what it means to be good and what it means to be wicked. Caroline Carlson cleverly plays with this dichotomy, illustrating with humor and wit that we are not simply one or the other, but a mix that makes us wonderfully human. The novel isn't a heavy-handed morality tale, though, but a playful romp that young readers will find fun, cozy, and relatable. Filled with warmth and charm, Wicked Marigold is an insightful fantasy adventure that puts an enchanting twist on the classic tale of princess and witch. * Soman Chainani, New York Times best-selling author of the School for Good and Evil series * Warm, classic, and utterly hilarious, Wicked Marigold is an absolute delight. * Stephanie Burgis, author of The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart and The Raven Heir * A hilarious, heartwarming, and whimsical adventure reminiscent of Howl's Moving Castle. * Liesl Shurtliff, New York Times best-selling author of Rump * Wicked Marigold is a magical and enchanting romp. I adored Princess Marigold, loved her hilarious companions, and followed her escapades with delight. If you like stories about fairy-tale princesses' little sisters (and who doesn't?), this book is for you. * Leah Cypess, author of the Sisters Ever After series *
