Maragold In Fifth

When Maragold and her friends find themselves in the same fifth grade classroom, with an overbearing teacher, the fun begins! With the help of Bert, Maragold's invisible leprechaun, you're entertained by Matt outsmarting the school bully, a talent show where jealousy could ruin Maragold's magic act, and oral reports that are as comical as they are interesting. Eric returns with his outrageous antics and jokes that will bring tears to your eyes-one way or another. And you'll read about Cheryl's new talent as she joins a poetry program and writes a daring-and funny-poem about her stern teacher. The "ultimate prank" occurs in math class and is followed by the "ultimate surprise" when the teacher gives the final report cards to her students.

In this witty spoof of fairy tales, Christian, a commoner, falls for Princess Marigold, and it's up to him to untwist an odd love triangle and foil a scheming queen who wants to take over the kingdom.
