Book 1: Stella & MarigoldStella, 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 that kids do—like going to school and playing with their friends, like sometimes going to the zoo and sometimes getting sick—but even the most regular things have a secret side. For instance, there was a secret involving a blanket. And another one, about wolves, a terrible storm, and two brave children. That was a very exciting secret, and no one knows about it but Stella and Marigold. And you, if you read the book!

Book 2: Stella & Marigold: Mermaids and Mix-Ups

Stella and Marigold live with their parents in the half-house. But in other houses in other cities, there are other people who were part of Stella and Marigold’s family. One of them is Cousin Judy, who sends them lots and lots of presents for no reason at all. One day, for no reason at all, she sent them a purple present. It was a book, and in the book, they were supposed to list their friends. That’s when Stella and Marigold discovered they didn’t have enough friends. They needed to make more. But how? With flowers? With magical recipes to make snow fall? With lots of nice Bandaids? How about a mermaid candleholder? The two sisters are full of ideas and plans. Maybe they turn out and maybe they don’t, but luckily, Stella and Marigold always have a best friend at home.

Book 3: Stella & Marigold: Past and Presents

Nowadays, Stella and Marigold live in the half-house. But the half-house is very old, so they are not the only children who have ever lived there. One surprising day, they discover that there was another girl, maybe named Ziamara, who not only lived in the half-house, but drew on the wall. And who not only drew on the wall, but left secret presents for Stella and Marigold. And who not only left secret presents, but maybe went all the way up to the roof of the house! Inspired by this hero from the past, Stella and Marigold make great plans for the future.
