<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this witty spoof of fairy tales, Christian, who lives in a cave with a troll for a dad, is clueless about how amazingNand stupefyingNlove can be. But now that Christian's fallen for Princess Marigold, it's up to him to untwist an odd love triangle and foil a scheming queen.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Who knew love could be so amazing--and stupefying? Not Christian. He was clueless when he started spying on the royal family through his telescope. He lives in a cave with a troll for a dad, after all. If his dad had only warned him about all that mind-boggling love stuff, maybe things wouldn't be such a mess. But then, maybe, Princess Marigold would be dead. <p/> But Christian<i> wasn't </i>warned. And now that he's fallen for the princess, it's up to him to untwist an odd love triangle--er, <i>rectangle</i>--and foil a scheming queen who wants to take over the kingdom, even if it means bumping off her own daughter. <p/> With echoes of William Goldman's modern classic <i>The Princess Bride, </i>Jean Ferris's hilarious parody of "Once upon a time . . ." overflows with oddball characters and sage observations--and ends with a slapstick happily-ever-after that's full of surprises.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>JEAN FERRIS</b> has written more than a dozen popular books for teens, including several ALA Best Books for Young Adults and one YALSA Teens' Top Ten Best Book. She lives in San Diego, California.<br>
