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.

This was one of the better Rainbow Magic books. Going into it, I thought "changing magic" sounded a bit confusing and like the author was reaching a bit. It set up the book for some funny moments, though. There was a lot of confusion, and the multiple goblins led to some of the usual complications. I thought this one came together quite well. The aftermath was a bit predictable, but the book was quite enjoyable overall.

The usual Rainbow Fairy nonsense, but with a few costume changes thrown in. My daughter really liked the pumpkins changing into pineapples, but she was disappointed in the girls choice of costumes for a Halloween party.

Read an indefinite amount as a kid.
So fun!
Costume shop shenanigans! (Featuring a gorgeous Queen costume btw)
The illustrations are getting so much better as the books progress! Not that they were ever bad, but they’re getting more detailed and overall better quality.

I thought they had found the topaz and then business pages later when they actually found it I realized that their observation skills might leave something to be desired. The energy Chloe had at the end is what I am looking for in every interaction with the goblins.

I can't tell if this book was better than some of the others, or if they are just growing on me.

Why did I read these books religiously as a child.
The plot is honestly hilarious.

This is the fourth of seven books in the Rainbow Magic Jewel 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. Our oldest is starting to read them very quickly, too, and she ended up finishing four of these stories in one day.
Jan 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!

This was our first foray into the "Jewel Fairies" series, and as expected it follows the same plot structure as every single other fairy book in this repetitive series. I obviously wasn't thrilled by all of this, but my five-year-old daughter was enthralled. Instead of flowers or feathers or what not, here the girls are chasing goblins who have stolen magic jewels. The jewels make crazy things happen because the moronic goblins don't know how to wield their precious stones effectively, but what it really seems is happening is Ms. Meadows simply needed a plot device where she could keep her young audience engaged with numerous narrative non sequiturs. (Still, I'll give it three stars for the joy it brought my daughter.)

Another fun read. Like Emily the Emerald Fairy, this book takes place in a setting that serves as a perfect backdrop for a confrontation with goblins - a costume store.
I especially liked how well-mannered the girls were in their interactions with the store owner!
I've noticed, though, that the goblins don't seem to have the same effect on their environment as they did in the Rainbow Fairies series. With the Rainbow Fairies, every time a goblin was nearby, the clouds covered the sun, the girls felt a chill in the air, and ice formed. In this Jewel Fairies series, the goblins don't have the same power. Maybe it's because the warmth of the jewels counteracts their iciness? Or maybe I just shouldn't think too much about consistency among the sub-series.

Kirsty and Rachel have been best friends ever since they found out about a secret.. Fairies exist! They have been helping the king and queen of the fairy world a lot and this time, Jack Frost the evil villain has stole the magic jewels. They have already found 4 of the jewels and this time, they have the help of Chloe the topaz fairy! Will they be able to find the topaz or will the goblins of Jack Frost beat them to it?
I started reading this book because the cover interested me. I liked the idea of humans helping the fairies.
I finished the book because the climax was very intense, I couldn't put the book down, it was very suspenseful. I enjoyed reading about the wonderful fairies.
I recommend this book to amesha because I think she will love how there are fairies in this world.

It all starts when Rachel and Kristy are waiting at the bus stop. There is about two hours before the bus will get there so they stop at the costume store and they look for costumes. Kristy tries on a queen costume because it has a bunch of jewels on the crown and she thinks one of them might be the magic topaz. When Rachel comes to see how it looks on her, Kristy says, "Look on my crown, I found the changing topaz." (The topaz controls changing thing like the crown that's on Kristy's head turns into a turban.)

This is another in the Rainbow Magic/Jewel Fairies series, this time involving Kirsty and Rachel trying to help find a missing topaz gemstone in a store selling Halloween outfits. The situation gets quite funny since the stone is magical and can change the appearance of things, and all sorts of things in the shop change into other things, complete with a whole bunch of disco balls.
As usual, the inept goblins are involved and, as usual, are driven off in defeat. This is one of the funniest of the series that I have read so far.

I liked this book, it gave me the urge to read deeper in to the book, but it was quite short. I just want the book to be longer. It took me like maybe 3 minute to read it and that really disappointed me. Although it was a fantastic!!! I recommend it to kids who are just starting to read chapter books or if they need more confidence. I'm also sad that all of the rainbow magic series only have one villain.

This time Rachel and Kirsty are going to a halloween party and they need to find good costumes in a costume shop. When the girls are looking through a pile of costumes they find Chloe the topaz fairy and find out that she is the fourth fairy to help. With the nasty green goblins of Jack Frost`s turning into pumpkins and pinnapels the girls wonder if they CAN help Chloe find her Topaz.

Cute beginning chapter book, one in a series about two friends who help fairies get back their stolen jewels. The worst thing that happens is the girls have to outwit some bumbling, not very scary goblins, so safe, light reading. I wasn't hooked by the story but it's enough to satisfy many younger readers (or listeners).

I read this book because my sister loves them. I didn't like it because its a girl book for one thing and they are weird fairies, they can't do things on their own. They are dependent on others to help save everything. They are great for girls.
