She lives in Cambridge, England with her husband and cats.

If you’re gonna hate on me for reading this, talk to the hand. I had a random itch while at the library to get a childhood book, I was obviously hoping Lauren the puppy fairy would be available but it wasn’t. So what I went with special edition April fools fairy cuz who does love a good prank. I wish at the end there was one more chapter to follow through with all the jokes made during the day that the goblins had ruined.
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 great thing about the Special Edition books in the Rainbow Magic series is that the focus is on one fairy at a time and their three magical objects. It is like three books in one instead of 5 to 7 individual books in the theme. What I liked about this story was that it took place over the course of one day and it happened in school - a setting we don't usually get to see. I think my six-year-old didn't enjoy this story as much as some others because we don't usually do pranks or really anything out of the ordinary to celebrate April Fool's Day. If you like toothpaste-instead-of-frosting-cookies, then this book might appeal to you more. It still made for a great read aloud and we did laugh as the goblins crashed into the door that read 'push' when they were supposed to pull.
LOVED this especially when I was 6. It also had my name in the title, so I of course was addicted. Chris, if you are reading this review, you should also read the book. I think this book was full of wonder and mystery. the plot is enchanting, and there is so much involved. After reading this, you may want to read the other ones, because this is a limited edition, not a normal series one. It will touch your heart and make you feel so happy. Totally recommend, especially if you are looking for a light read. 🅴🅽🅹🅾🆈 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
Read this a day late, but it still basically counts. This is fun because Addison actually seems to have a personality which is different from a lot of other fairies. But (and I made this comment about Skyler the Fireworks Fairy), but I think Kirsty and Rachel were ever so out of character here. Maybe it's because these are US special editions and the UK writers are more what I'm used to
I liked the book because it had a lot of details. I liked the part when Addison turned Rachel and Kirsty to fairies. They could see goblins taking the jelly beans and the horseshoe and everyone had a jelly bean can. When rachel opened the jelly bean pack, then it came out in surprise. I liked that they got to be friends and I felt really happy reading that book
