For readers of all ages!

Join us and meet author Caroline Carlson, the author of several funny and fantastical books for young readers. 

Her newest book is Wicked Marigold:  
Princess Marigold is eleven when the unthinkable happens: her perfect older sister returns home. Marigold has always known she's not as good, sweet, or kind as the sister everyone adores, but amid the celebration of Rosalind's return, Marigold realizes something new: if Princess Rosalind is good, then Princess Marigold must be wicked. And there is no place for wickedness in their kingdom. When Marigold tries to find a new place for herself with an evil wizard though, the results are disastrous. Before she's even learned to cackle or scowl properly, she gets tangled up in a magical plot to ruin all the Cacophonous Kingdoms. Is Marigold too wicked to make things right? Or can she -- with the help of a kitchen boy, a well-dressed imp, and a grumpy blob of glop -- find her own way to restore peace? This endearing fantasy will have princess and anti-princess fans alike chuckling and cheering.

Caroline’s novels have won awards and accolades and are on several notable book lists. She is the children’s book columnist for the website Literary Hub.  Caroline also has a special connection to the Weston Library--she grew up in town and even worked at the Library.
