Stella & Marigold: Mermaids and Mix-Ups cover

From the creators of the New York Times–bestselling Ivy + Bean comes a fun and funny new chapter book series about two small sisters with very big imaginations.



This charming and critically acclaimed early chapter book series follows the everyday adventures of siblings Stella and Marigold. In this second book, Stella and Marigold receive a purple present—a book for them to list all their friends. That’s when they discover they need to make more friends!

But how? With magical recipes to make snow fall? With lots of nice Band-Aids? How about a mermaid candleholder? The two sisters are full of ideas and plans. Maybe they turn out, or maybe they don’t, but one thing is for sure: By the end of this book, readers will be the best of friends with Stella and Marig
