Daisy Meadows is the pseudonym used for the four writers of the Rainbow Magic children's series: Narinder Dhami, Sue Bentley, Linda Chapman, and Sue Mongredien. Rainbow Magic features differing groups of fairies as main characters, including the Jewel fairies, Weather fairies, Pet fairies, Petal fairies, and Sporty fairies.
Narinder Dhami was born in Wolverhampton, England on November 15, 1958. She received a degree in English from Birmingham University in 1980. After having taught in primary and secondary schools for several years she began to write full-time. Dhami has published many retellings of popular Disney stories and wrote the Animal Stars and Babes series, the latter about young British girls of Asian origin. She lives in Cambridge, England with her husband and cats.
Sue Bentley was born in Northampton, England. She worked in a library after completing her education and began writing for children once her own began school. Bentley is the author of the Magic Kitten, Magic Puppy, and S Club series and lives in Northamptonshire.
Linda Chapman has written over 50 children's fiction books, including the following series: My Secret Unicorn, Stardust, Not Quite a Mermaid, and Unicorn School. She lives in Leicestershire with her husband and daughters.
Sue Mongredien was born in 1970 and grew up in Nottingham, England. She has published over 100 children's books, including the following series: The Adventures of Captain Pugwash, The Magic Key, Frightful Families, and Oliver Moon. She has also contributed many titles to the Sleepover Club series and written picture books. Mongredien created the Royal Ballet School Diaries under the pen name Alexandra Moss. She lives with her family in Bath, England.
I read this with my 7-year-old daughter who loved it. Anyone who has read any of the rainbow fairy books before will know why. They are designed perfectly for her age group. Each story features best friends Kirsty and Rachel having to help a fairy friend from Fairyland in their perpetual battle with Jack Frost and the goblins. This one is no different.
This story is about Hannah the happy ever after fairy and Jack Frost has stolen her magical Quill Pen which "has the power to write fairy tales for the human world, but not only that - the magic pen can also change them." And Jack Frost is changing them. "He's rewriting all the endings of the fairy tales to make them miserable!" It falls upon Kirsty and Rachel to help Hannah sort it out of course.
Also along the way there are a number of clear and simple pictures to bring the text alive, and the story is written in big text too ideal for early readers.
This was originally a World Book Day book so is a showcase, and as such it is probably a bit better than some of the others in the collection which follow predictable patterns, although a little shorter.
Overall a typical rainbow fairy story that little girls will love.
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!
This was another book I found while cleaning - I had all the Rainbow fairy books growing up, and this brought back so many memories of reading them all
Hannah the Happy Ever After Fairy is My First Ever Rainbow Magic Book. Since I was in Grade School, I Really Want to Read Rainbow Magic Books. I saw it on their Website and I was Totally Addicted to It. As I Bought this Book, I've Read it several Times. I Must Say, this is Very Enjoyable and Addicting for me. I Chose this one because I would better Start with the Special Edition Books, Following by The 4-Part or 7-Part Book Series.
Hannah is my Inspiration to become a Book Writer and a Journalist. It is just because of her Magic Quill Pen, which Rachel Walker wrote it in a Blank Piece of Paper while facing her Fears at the Bookstore. As she Writes her Story, It feels like There's Something Happens at the Plot. The Moral Lesson for the Story is to Find The Memorable Time to Write Everything that Comes to your Mind and Imagination. Therefore, There will be a Happy Ending.
I'll Give it 5 Stars because of the Plot. I would buy More Rainbow Magic Books this Weekend to Continue the Journey.
Read this with my little girl last night who loves it like she loves the others and this one will become another that is well read.
But I'm only giving a three star review as I am really not into these series books, that the girls love but the there is pressure on the parents to buy or borrow the other 30 or 40 books in the series. This one cost me £1 through Macdonals and whsmith, A price I am happy with.
