Full House Michelle Books
Last updated: January 22, 2025
The Full House Michelle book series contains 40 books, written by several authors, focussing on Michelle Tanner.
Full House Michelle/Michelle and Friends Started at the start of season 8 with "The Great Pet Project". It has kept Michelle at age nine (& in a 9th season) since book #5. Michelle and Friends centers on Michelle and her classmates, but includes other Full house charactes, sometimes in cameos, usually with one or two used more often.
The books are listed in chronological order.
The Full House Michelle book series also contains "Michelle and Friends" books. These books are included in the Full House Michelle book series, but could also be seen as a separate series of its own.
Michelle remains true to character, though she seems more mature and less mischeivous in the Michelle and Friends series. That could just come from seeing her next to snobby Rachel Tilly, who is introduced in the first "Michelle and Friends" book, "Pigs, Pies, and Plenty of Problems" and makes a great and believable nemesis.
