Teen Book Review - Once Upon a Marigold

Once Upon a Marigold by Jean Ferris - YA SFF FER

 This review is from Melanie, age 14. Melanie says that this book is fiction, fantasy, and romance.  She gave it a 8/10.  (Awesome!)  Her favorite character was Chris.  (mine was Princess Marigold, but Christ is great too!) She said "Marigold is a lovely new fairy tale with great characters and a story you can enjoy even past the age of six!" (I totally agree, I think anyone age 6 to 106 could enjoy this one!)  About the cover of the book she had this to say, "Loved it.  I loved that they put the "p-mail" on it."  Melanie said that she would read more from this author and her last words were "It's good on audiobook!" (That's how I read it and I totally agree!  The audiobook was great!)

Melanie received an extra raffle ticket in this week's Teen Summer Reading Raffle.  If you would like to get an extra ticket this week too, come by and fill out a book review form!
