I thought Annabelle the Drawing Fairy was really good.
Annabelle's Magic sharpener is missing. Without it, all drawings will be ruined! Jack Frost has stolen her magical pencil sharpener.
I like how they put so much effort in to getting the magic sharpener back. Not only that but also, their teamwork.
Thanks again, to Rachel and Kristy, for getting Annabelle's magic sharpener back. With help from Kristy's great ideas, and Annabelle's great magic.
Yeah, another magic object found. Let's check it off the list!

Made for great reading to my two kids - very cute. Expressed so many of the wishes we all have of the hopes of magically being able to draw beautifully and accurately. Great story

I read these with my friends and it took me back. This mini series hadn't even been published when I was a kid, but it felt like I had read it before.

2.75 Stars!
Pros:
-I didn’t even really notice this in the previous books from this series, but two stars for the names Sara Sketchley and Polly Painterly. (they’re married in my head)
-Starting the book off with Kirsty and Rachel spinning around was for me specifically.
-I love Sara’s cottage - it feels so cozy and artistic, it’s honestly pretty perfect!
-Shoutout to the reference to Fern the Green Fairy and the maze from her book because I love nostalgia bait.
-Sara’s outfit is so cute, it’s giving me major style envy.
-I like that they had the magical object be a pencil sharpener rather than a pencil, it was actually a pretty creative choice. I also like that they went with the result of the missing object being that none of the drawing tools were functioning properly, instead of characters trying to draw one thing and it just looking bad (or previous drawings created suddenly looking odd, like they did with Josie the Jewelry Fairy, which I still maintain was a terrible writing choice).
-“They’re all pretty bad.” - Kirsty, you could be nicer. One, you know exactly why they don’t look good. Two, these kids look half your age, don’t be an asshole.
-A million stars for the goblin wearing a beret.
-Rachel seemed more upset about the goblins littering than the missing object and I think that’s actually so funny.
Cons:
-Her design is awful, why does she look like a sitcom mom??
-That fakeout with the girls thinking Mr. Walker had overheard them was weird.
-I noticed this in Libby’s book too; why do the girls look so much older than the other kids in the workshop??
-How did Annabelle even get in Kirtsy’s bag…?
-Goblins are living proof that vanity kills brain cells because this idiot fully knows and just acknowledged that these two girls are friends with fairies, and he still buys their shit! Also, this goblin is easily one of the top 10 dumbest goblins in a Rainbow Magic book because he falls for their maze trick of trapping him. (But also, this was valid of him: “I was STUCK!”)

Daisy Meadows and her fairies are my childhood. I collected so many in my youth, knowing all the fairies and their importance, and sticking with the two special girls who go to be a part of the magic.
Years ago I had to give my beautiful collection away, now still part of my childhood school where little girls are picking their favourite fairies and playing pretend. It's fun to hear stories from my old teachers telling me how over the years so many students have grabbed these books and fallen in love with the tales of two girls, Jack Frost and the fabulous glittering magic that is the fairies.
On Christmas last year, my sister surprised me with a boxset of these books, but cause you cannot collect these darlings as easily anymore. I was over the moon!
If anyone has a little one who needs a little magic in their life, wants to read and needs a big creation to be hooked on...it is Daisy Meadows!

Annabelle’s pencil sharpener is missing and without it, her drawings will be ruined. She needs to find it quickly so she can attend the drawing classes at Rainspell Island’s Arts and Crafts fair. The magical craft fairies must defeat the evil Jack Frost in order to participate in the competition.
This is another story in the Rainbow Magic series written by Daisy Meadows. The story is cute and the characters lovely as they work to overcome the evil pranks of Jack Frost. If you have fans of the Rainbow series, this would be a good addition to the shelf. The fact that this series addresses writing elements might also make it a suitable purchase for the beginning readers section of the library. Recommended for optional purchase for grades 1 through 3.

Rachel and Kirsty are staying in Rainspell Island's Arts and Crafts Fair. During their second they, the girls are heading to Sara Sketchley's garden for a drawing lesson, when they saw a goblin who has Annabelle the Drawing Fairy's magic sharpener. Without it, they draw terribly except for one who is holding it. The girls and Annabelle tries to get the sharpener from the talented goblins, especially inside the maze. Nice story with fantastic drawings.
