Wicked Marigold By: Caroline Carlson

An endearing and witty middle grade fantasy that will enchant and amuse princess and anti-princess fans alike.

“A delightful blend of whimsy and wisdom… 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 bestselling author of *The School for Good and Evil*

Princess Marigold – who hadn’t yet been born when the remarkable Princess Rosalind was kidnapped – is eleven when the unthinkable happens: her older sister escapes her captivity and comes home. Marigold has always known she’s not as good, sweet or kind as the sister everyone adores, but amid the celebration of Rosalind’s return, Marigold realizes something new: if Princess Rosalind is good, then Princess Marigold must be wicked. And there’s no place for wickedness in the kingdom.

When Marigold tries to find a new place for herself in an evil wizard’s fortress, however, the results are disastrous. Before she’s 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 she find her own way to restore peace?
