Readers around the world have loved the Ivy + Bean series, which has sold over 8 million copies and has been adapted into a popular Netflix Original movie series. Now, creators Annie Barrows and Sophie Blackall return with the first book in this bright new series about a pair of sisters named Stella and Marigold.

Seven-year-old Stella loves cats, axolotls, and second grade. But more than anything, she loves Marigold. Four-year-old Marigold loves gibbons, red paint, and the plumber. But more than anything, she loves Stella.

Stella and Marigold do all the regular things—like going to school, playing with their friends, going to the zoo sometimes, and getting sick—but even the most normal things have a secret side. There’s a secret that involves a blanket. And another one about wolves, a terrible storm, and two brave kids. This is a very exciting secret, and no one knows it except for Stella and Marigold. And—if you read this book—you!

Perfect for: Independent readers ages 6-9, parents, teachers, and librarians looking for fun books for elementary school kids, gift givers searching for a series of beginner books for kids who enjoy stories filled with humor and heart, readers who love book series like Ivy + Bean, Junie B. Jones, Judy Moody, Dory Fantasmagory, and Princess in Black.
