This book was about a boy named Christian who lives with his foster father Ed in a cave. Recently Christian has developed a habit of looking at Princess Marigold in her palace across the river. One day he decides to send her a message, and surprisingly she responds to him. They become fast friends, although Marigold doesn't know Chris's real name. So, when Chris decides to get a job at the palace, trouble breaks loose. Chris reveals himself to Marigold and together they try to stop Marigold's arranged wedding and the plot of her evil mother. Along the way they discover that Chris has his own share of secrets.

        This book is very good. If you are looking for a sappy love story, you've got it. This story makes people want to go "awwww!" when they read it. It has such a cute plot. It is good for middle school students.
