Other Versions of this Book: Paperback
Book Description:
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.
But Christian wasn't warned. And now that he's fallen for the princess, it's up to him to untwist an odd love triangle--er, rectangle--and foil a scheming queen who wants to take over the kingdom, even if it means bumping off her own daughter.
With echoes of William Goldman's modern classic The Princess Bride, 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.

I loved this book. There is over 200 pages and I finished in one day! This book includes, having a troll for a dad, a young boy running away from his parents, a young princess who does not get near the same amount of attention as her sisters, who are beautiful blonde triplets, a sceme to get the crown, a love that is forbidden, and a happy ending. This is a great book, and I know that you'll love it.
