i want to read it a lot

A wonderful "fractured fairy tale" type story. It is filled with humor and endearing characters.

I really enjoyed this book! Christian runs away from home as a young boy and a troll named Edric takes him in when Christian refuses to tell him who his family is (whom Christian soon forgets) and as he grows, he becomes fascinated with watching the royal family through his telescope across the river. Especially the youngest, Princess Marigold. He is entranced of how she loves to read and dig in the garden, in complete contrast to her perfect older sisters, the blonde triplets. One day he sends her a note by pigeon asking what she was reading, and a wonderful friendship blossoms. The only thing is, Christian never signed his real name, just his initial, C. When Chris is 17, he sets out to find work at the castle and finally meets Marigold in person. He hasn't revealed to her that he is 'C' yet. But Marigold is special. She has the ability to read thoughts if she is touching someone, so everyone avoids her. But Chris doesn't, and she quickly figures out that the new servant is her best friend! But Marigold's selfish, cruel mother, Queen Olympia, has a plan to marry off Marigold to a royal and kill the wonderful king (her husband!) so she can rule on her own! But Marigold and Chris do not plan to let that happen...What will happen next?! I really liked the style of this author's writing and how this book was funny, suspenseful, and added a little romance! I recommend this book to ages 8+ and I give it 4 stars!

the princess plot is an original, vivid, wondrous book about a teenage girl gets mixed up in a dark web of lies. I LOVEDDDDD this book!!! it does get a little confusing, but at the end, the pieces fall into place and you'll say out loud, "OHHHHH!"

i loveee all of the books in this series, and i read it when it first came out. i was so excited and when i read it, the author DID NOT disappoint! the princess trap is exciting on every page and these books are recommended for girls that like books about rebellion, kingdoms, and romance (also recommended: the falling kingdoms series).

this book is amazing great awsome more than that.

This book was pretty (no pun intended) good. The ending was sax, though. I think it would have been better if there was more dialogue.

It's one of my favorite books of all time! I especially like the antique designing. I hope I get to read more of Shaun Tan's books because they are surely mesmerizing.

Amazing book! SERIOUSLY
