Overview

★ “In the vein of Ramona Quimby.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review   “Stella and Marigold are a force to be reckoned with.” —The Horn Book ★ — “Readers will long for a sibling like Marigold or Stella.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review ★ — “Buoyed by an innate sense of fun. . . This early chapter book… [is] equally enjoyable for reading aloud in homes and classrooms.” —Booklist, starred review Generations of readers have fallen in love with Ivy + Bean, which has sold over 8 million copies and been adapted into a popular Netflix Original Film series. Now, bestselling author Annie Barrows and illustrator 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, is kind, a good storyteller, and ponders big questions like, what do animals think of people? Marigold, at four, tells imaginative stories (her mother calls them “fibs”) and likes to wear her favorite Halloween costume year-round. Stella and Marigold do all the regular things—like going to school, playing, getting sick sometimes, and visiting the zoo—but even the most regular things have a secret side. Sure to delight fans of Ivy and Bean, these adventure tales—animated with full-color illustrations of the sisters’ encounters with magical bathrooms, snow monkeys, dream lions, howling wolves, a lost Vice President, and much more—are filled with vibrant characters, creative storytelling, and a whole lot of laughs.
