This one is maybe the silliest Rainbow Magic book I've ever read - and I've read over a hundred and fifty of these things to my two daughters. (Thanks, pandemic.) Rachel and Kirsty turn into ladybugs! The goblins turn into fairies! Rachel and Kirsty turn into purple slime worms! Reading this book, I got the feeling that the author knows the entire idea of a slime fairy is a ridiculous cash grab, but she decided to just have fun with it. And it is indeed pretty fun, although there are a couple of moments that are nonsensical even for this series. (Jack Frost just stands there and watches Rachel and Kirsty free themselves from the slime?) I like how Jack Frost doesn't really care about the slime and just stole the magical objects so the goblins would leave him alone. That was truly inspired.
If one star is the worst RMF and five is the best, this is a four.

February 15, 2019Sasha the Slime Fairy is a stand-alone, three-in-one story in the Rainbow Magic series. Rachel and Kirsty meet Sasha the Slime Fairy, who has had her three magic slimes stolen by Jack Frost! Each short story in this book follows the girls as they try to find one of the three magic slimes. Can Rachel and Kirsty help Sasha find her glitter slime, goo slime and glow-in-the-dark slime before it's too late?
Although it feels like the people at Rainbow Magic are just trying to jump on the slime trend bandwagon, this book provides everything any Rainbow Magic book does. I feel like even the author acknowledges that a slime fairy is perhaps a little too hard to believe as, within the first few pages, Rachel says "I didn't even know that there was a slime fairy". Neither did we, Rachel!
The story follows the same pattern as usual and Rachel and Kirsty try to find clever ways to trick the goblins and Jack Frost. I do appreciate that the authors are trying to incorporate positive messages into the stories now, rather than just following the same old storyline. In this book, the goblins comment that fairies shouldn't like slime because they are fluffy and fluttery and pretty, and that they should only like pink, frilly things. The girls obviously correct them saying, "Just because someone looks pretty and delicate, it doesn't mean they're not strong and brave". I feel that these books do really benefit from these kinds of messages to add a little extra to the plot.
The Rainbow Magic books are perfect for young girls to introduce them to chapter books and get them interested in reading. Each story is short (5-10 minutes) with plenty of illustrations. The stories are adventurous and full of magic with special powers and abilities. Although every book follows the same type of story line, the variety in fairies and obstacles is enough to keep young girls interested as they are introduced to a new fairy in each book, hence the titles of the books.
Ideal for: young children aged 5-8 years old, especially girls.
Note: This book is not part of a series, so can be read at any time.

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!
