An ancient creature stirs, a mysterious figure watches, and four kids are caught in the middle. Four teenagers—Momo, who nearly lost her life the day she was born, at the hands of her own father; Mia, a brilliant mind wrapped in effortless beauty; and best friends Tyson and Lucas, inseparable since the moment they met—find themselves stranded in the middle of the ocean.

Sie ist, wie Wilhelm Grimm beschreibt, eine Sprache die "längst verloren, aber […] noch empfunden" wird, die vom Damals ins Heute hinüberreicht und - mehr noch - durch das Menschliche hindurchreicht.

The Kappa is a creature from Japanese folklore known for dragging unwary toddlers to their deaths in rivers: a scaly, child-sized creature, looking something like a frog, but with a sharp, pointed beak and an oval-shaped saucer on top of its head, which hardens with age.

Here are the elements you’d expect to find in a story of infant twins—but more than that, Marigold and Rose is an investigation of the great mystery of language and of time itself.
