In a funny and charming fantastical romp, overlooked Princess Marigold is nothing like her perfect, just-returned sisterâso she runs away to an evil wizardâs tower to prove her wickedness.
Princess Marigoldâwho hadnât yet been born when the remarkable Princess Rosalind was kidnappedâis eleven when the unthinkable happens: her older sister escapes her captivity and comes home. Marigold has always known sheâs not as good, sweet, or kind as the sister everyone adores, but amid the celebration of Rosalindâs return, Marigold realizes something new: if Princess Rosalind is good, then Princess Marigold must be wicked. And thereâs no place for wickedness in the kingdom. When Marigold tries to find a new place for herself in an evil wizardâs fortress, though, the results are disastrous. Before sheâs 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 sheâwith the help of a kitchen boy, a well-dressed imp, and a grumpy blob of glopâfind her own way to restore peace? This endearing fantasy will have princess and anti-princess fans alike chuckling and cheering.
