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!
I’m glad to finally finish this set of Rainbow Fairy books, I’m still completely confused at the writers coming up with a talent show involving ice dancing and acting in addition to the normal singing, dancing, magic and acrobatics. My six year old enjoyed the ending, although even she was questioning why they needed a talent show fairy as well as fairies for each of the talents, it seems a very niche role. Not the worst Rainbow Fairies book I’ve read, but pretty average.
This is a nice story because at the end the goblins are really nice and he preforms at the fairy talent show. All the fairies know him as a naughty troublemaker but he makes all the fairies laugh - even the king and queen laugh too!
I like all the books in this series because each one has a cool adventure! :)
The end of showtime and another seven part series is done and all is right again for about two minutes before old Jack Frost starts getting cranky again. These youngsters sure go to a lot of festivals and the like though, do they ever go to school?
