It was really scary when Jack Frost came and he was guarding the diamond in the sky that was pretending to be one of the stars. It was fun when Lucy called Pegasus and the girls and Lucy got to ride on his back. And it was funny when Lucy got the diamond and Jack Frost screamed with rage. And it was kind of scary when one of the girl's wings got frozen by Jack Frost's spells and then they rode back to the fairy king and queen with the diamond on Pegasus' back. It was a GREAT book! I think that Daisy Meadows is a wonderful author!

This was a stunning conclusion to the jewel fairy series. The one thing that bothered me was that the fairy king told the girls the wings given to them by the fairy dust from their locket "wouldn't last long"...and then their wings lasted for the remainder of the book. A Disappointing inconsistency. But other than that I was glad to see Jack Frost finally get what was coming to him. You can't steal ALL the jewels from the fairy queen's crown and not expect some sort of retaliatory action. I was appreciative of the sneak preview of Katie and the Kitten Fairy at the back of the book. Can't wait to check that one out, as well as the other books in the Pet Fairies series.

I have so many fond memories for this book and series as a whole.
When I was little, I spent a lot of time at my Gran's house whilst my mum was at college. We used to walk the block and visit the local library frequently. It was a really small thing, closed down now, but I loved it with all my heart. Scouring the shelves for a new “Rainbow magic” book, I found this one and eagerly pulled it off the shelf. “Look Gran! Her name is Lucy too!” I checked it out and we walked back to her house for juice and biscuits.
The minute we got it, my auntie and cousins were there and I hadn’t seen them in a while, but I was so excited for my book. So, they all sat around the table and I sat on the kitchen bench behind them reading this book and eating my biscuits.
Half an hour later, I flicked the page over and realised I finished. In one sitting! I did it! The first time I’d ever finished a book in one sitting, I was ecstatic. I had the biggest smile of my face and hugged the book to my chest.
“Gran? Can we go back to the library please?”
This book really is a diamond and it’s always going to be very special to me
Love Lucy xx

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!

The Jewel fairies are : India the Moonstone Fairy, Scarlett the Garnet Fairy, Emily the Emerald Fairy, Chloe the Topaz Fairy, Amy the Amethyst Fairy, Sophie the Sapphire Fairy and Lucy the Diamond Fairy.Their gems control different types of magic like good dreams, changing, appearing (and disappearing) etc.
We love looking at the maps at the beginnings of the books. A different location for this series as Kirsty goes to stay with Rachel this time. Miss 4 liked the adventure playground best.
Miss 4 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

Rachel and Kirsty heads back to Fairyland when they saw the fairies, including Lucy the Diamond Fairy, losing their wings and they can't fly. Lucy's magic diamond is above the stars of Fairyland, which allows all the fairies to fly, and at least Rachel and Kirsty flutters their wings away to the skies to get the diamond when Jack Frost came to steal it. This book has an epic battle against the girls and Jack Frost, and they need to get the diamond for Queen Titania's crown to complete and recharge the magic in Fairyland. Amazing story with a happy ending.

June 19, 2022Not only do I love the Rainbow Magic fairy book series for my own nostalgia, but many of the children in my Year 1 class absolutely love them too. The language is simple and the lovely illustrations really help to make introducing children to novels and reading large chunks of text much less daunting. The beautifully designed covers provide a great idea of what the main character looks like, so as the child is reading they can picture what she is doing as the story progresses.

I'll give this one the benefit of the doubt. I was pretty busy the week that we read this, so I might have been a tired by the time we got to this at the end of each day. I enjoyed the different approach to the jewel search than in the rest of the series. I like how these series end with a showdown with Jack Frost. I felt like this one was lacking a bit--the stakes or the suspense just didn't stack up to some of the other series conclusions. Still, some strong moments and fun illustrations.

I read this book many, many years after I had read the first six. Don't understand how the diamond is just casually in the sky, like wouldn't it fall? Anyway, still liked it.

I loved the book because it is about an adventure and I love an adventure and I love fairy's.😍

A little slow and repetitive after reading the previous books in the series. Probably best to have a break between the books. Still a great juvenile fiction book

I thought this book was great. There was drama, there was intrigue, and there were both twists and turns. I was truly on the edge of my seat, what a nail biting end of the series.

I just know that first grade me probably felt immense satisfaction at finishing another one of the rainbow magic series, each book was basically the same, but that didn't stop me from reading them

Read an indefinite amount as a kid.
This was so so good! Perhaps my favourite of the Jewel Fairy books!
We’re in Fairyland for the whole book! The fairies can’t fly… The girls get to fly to the sky, and meet Pegasus!
Also, Jack Frost is apparently into murder now? Cool cool, good to know I guess…?
Magic rings.
Hidden word = “Magical”

This is the first book we've read in the Rainbow Magic series, written by the group of authors who go by the pseudonym Daisy Meadows. After finishing it, we noticed that there were several mini-series: Jewel Fairies, Pet Keeper Fairies, Weather Fairies, Petal Fairies, etc. and that this was the last book of seven in the Jewel Fairies stories. I doubt very much that this is a series that we'll become engrossed with.
The story was just okay overall; the plot wasn't all that interesting and the characters were flat. Other than the not-so-subtle homage to The Beatles song, I was not amused. I can see this book entertaining young girls who are getting their first tastes of chapter books, but as a Mom reading to our girls, it was pretty boring. Our oldest brought this home from the school library; I hope she doesn't bring home too many more from this series. If she does, though, we'll give it another chance...
Update: It's funny how much can happen in just over a year. In early 2010, we'd just discovered this series. In mid-2011, we've read over 60 of these books. As much as I dislike the repetitiveness of the plots, I'm glad that our oldest loves them.
Feb 2012 update: our youngest is now immersing herself in this series and is reading them very quickly, too. As inane as I thought they were, I love that this series is making readers of our girls. Hooray!

Summary: "Lucy the Diamond Fairy” is an entertaining fantasy novel that follows two young girls, Rachel and Kirsty, as they travel to Fairyland in order to help their fairy friends locate the magic diamond that has been stolen by Jack Frost. Using their last fairy dust (which makes them fairies themselves) the girls search far and wide for the diamond, eventually locating it in the stars. But as they try to fly toward the diamond Jack Frost casts spells and lightning at them, preventing them from proceeding. Lucy Fairy and a winged horse named Pegasus helps them trick Jack Frost and retrieve the diamond.
Characteristics That Support the Genre: This book incorporates a number of elements of fantasy fiction, including the mythical place of Fairyland, the transformation of the girls into fairies, the winged horse, and the extensive presence of magic throughout the story.
Mentor Writing Traits: (1) Idea – The topic of travelling to a faraway place involving mythical creatures is an engaging one for children. (2) Conventions – The author strictly adheres to proper grammar and writing conventions throughout the story.
Classroom Integration: This would be an excellent story to get young students excited about writing fantasy fiction considering it includes so many aspects of the genre, and is a fun and quick read. Because it seems to include a lot of elements that are intended for girls, it might be advantageous to pair this with another style of fantasy novel within a lesson so all students can choose a mentor text that excites them.
Other Suggestions: I would suggest this book as being appropriate for readers in approximately fourth grade. As an additional idea for integration in the classroom, this book could provide practice reading text that features proper conventions and grammar.
