Welcome to AKINA, where every day can become an adventure...Milly and Molly are two very different sisters.

Caitlin reads The Adventures Of Milly & Molly by Ted Stanley

Perfect for ages 3-10

Welcome to AKINA, where every day can become an adventure...Milly and Molly are two very different sisters. Milly is a thoughtful silver tabby who notices the little things others sometimes miss. Molly is a bold black cat who takes her job as Guardian of AKINA very seriously indeed. Together they share their unusual home and magical garden with a colourful collection of neighbours—the noisy rooks, mischievous squirrels, a very bossy robin and the troublesome Cheriander Gang. But are the Cherianders really as troublesome as Molly thinks?

Across six gentle adventures, Milly and Molly discover unexpected friendships, solve mysteries, face their fears and learn that sometimes even a Guardian needs a helping paw.

A warm and humorous collection of stories about friendship, courage, kindness and belonging.

About Ted

Ted is a local writer and broadcaster who has spent much of his life pottering between one thing or another. His published work includes poetry, screenplays, stories, songs, Elizabethan comedy and American history — which may explain why he decided that writing bedtime stories for his grandchildren would be a nice way to relax.

Those bedtime stories became the adventures of Milly and Molly, inspired by two very real cats, a rather unusual house and the assorted creatures who seem to believe they own the garden.

GIVEAWAY! Ted has 10 copies of Milly & Molly to give away! Could you be one of the lucky recipients?
