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 a little disappointed that I didn’t really like this book all that much. I think conceptually the Night Fairies are so interesting - a group of fairies in charge of different aspects of the night, and instead of having objects specific to their magic, they each have a bag of magic dust. I think the magic dust is really interesting because fairy dust and pixie dust are often associated with dreams, so having it be a part of the Night Fairies was a really cool idea. (Sidenote, because this is book #6, I have no idea if Jack Frost’s intentions behind stealing the magic dust pouches have been revealed yet, but I’d bet good money on him doing all this because he’s either afraid of the dark or he keeps having nightmares. At least we got a really fun rhyme from him out of it!)
But this book specifically was just so bland, and Anna’s character didn’t really help. There have been other fairies that are rather passive when it comes to dealing with Jack Frost and his goblins, but they’ve never really been as frustrating as Anna was. The goblins tied her to their makeshift rocket made of a lantern, and we barely got a reaction out of her. I thought it was so ridiculous! I also didn’t feel any desperation from her to get her magic dust back, which is definitely a first. I’m just really surprised by Anna’s characterization because the ghostwriter for this book also wrote Isabella the Air Fairy, which is one of my favourite Rainbow Magic books because of what a great character Isabella was.
Another thing that bothered me about Anna was her design, because I always have to comment on the design. When I think ‘moonbeam’ I get ethereal, fairy princess vibes… not clunky boots and a think cardigan! I guess with the necklaces they were going for a more free-spirited, bohemian vibe, but I think this could’ve been better. I do like how her wings are curved to mimic the shape of a crescent moon.
Random things I want to mention just cuz:
-No offence, but a moonlit boat ride sounds like my personal nightmare.
-new vocab word unlocked: landlubbers (I thought this was a really funny word to look and it got me thinking if every time I hear ‘land lovers,’ the actual word being said is ‘landlubbers.’)
-Of course these girls know each other well enough to know what the other is thinking!
-The activity that was organized by the camp genuinely seemed like such a fun and unique way to learn Morse code. (It reminded me of Kristy and Mary Anne using flashlights to communicate with each other in the earlier BSC books!)
-I loved their plan to trick the goblins just because it was a whole production with costumes and everything.

It was very fun. I loved this book, it was not scary. There were a lot of people in it. I liked that the fairy could turn the girls into fairies.

This is the sixth book of seven in the Rainbow Magic Night Fairies series by the group of authors who go by the pseudonym Daisy Meadows. While the stories are basically the same and follow a simple formula, they are entertaining for young girls who are starting to read chapter books and I love that our oldest is just ripping through them. We both read the books separately and talk about what happens. I'm not a huge fan of them, but each story only takes about 5-10 minutes to read. And these stories center around the nighttime and a summer trip to camp, so it's perfect for summer reading. Our oldest is starting to read them very quickly, too, and she can read several of these stories in one day.

This are a great set of books for tweens - my daughter can't read them fast enough! I decided to pick one up today and check it out. I can see why she's hooked. They're fast reads, have cute characters, and they're full of magic fairy dust - what's not to like?

Just wanted to check these books out. Reason for my rating is a lack of complexity in the plot, but then it's a 4th grade reading book so what was I expecting? I like the idea of the many types of fairies.

I love Anna, she makes me want to read another in the series. A.G.
