This early chapter book… [is] equally enjoyable for reading aloud in homes and classrooms.” —Booklist, starred reviewReaders around the world have fallen in love with the Ivy + Bean series, which has sold over 8 million copies and been adapted into a popular Netflix Original Film series. Now, bestselling creators Annie Barrows and Sophie Blackall are back with the first book in a bright new series about a pair of sisters named Stella and Marigold.
Stella, who’s seven, likes cats and axolotls and second grade. But most of all, she likes Marigold. Marigold, who’s four, likes gibbons and red paint and the plumber. But most of all, she likes Stella.
Stella and Marigold do all the regular things—like going to school, playing with their friends, sometimes going to the zoo, and sometimes getting sick—but even the most regular things have a secret side. There’s a secret that involves a blanket. And another one about wolves, a terrible storm, and two brave children. That’s a very exciting secret, and no one knows about it except Stella and Marigold. And—if you read this book—you!
