2.5 Stars!
-10/10 for Hope’s design!
-Kirsty’s outfit here is the only cute outfit that either of them has worn in this series. (Ballgowns aside, of course!)
-I guess one of the perks of reading out of order is that when you go back to the first book, you can see the foreshadowing for the rest of them. (Kirsty referencing the orangery, the croquet setup, the tower that’s unsafe so no one can enter it, etc.)
-Polly the Party Fun Fairy was the one to come get them!!!
-They could’ve made the Princess Fairies nieces to the king and queen. I’d believe that over cousins. (Most unrealistic thing to happen in the Rainbow Magic universe tbh.) What is this distant land though? You can’t just drop new lore on me and not expand upon it.
-King Oberon’s crown flying off his head had no right to be as funny as it was. (My compliments to the illustrators.)
-I still don’t get how they’re responsible for all fairy magic. (Wouldn’t that be the Jewel Fairies since they control the foundation of all fairy magic?)
-How do the goblins know how to trim hedges?
-I guess I liked how they got Hope’s tiara back.

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!

These books are quick and fun to read. They have some fun situations and my 5-year-old enjoys them. However, they do get a bit monotonous if you read them back to back. They are very formulaic and ultimately Jack Frost steals something from a fairy, everyone loses whatever aspect of life/emotion that fairy is in charge of (happiness in this instance) and then they get it back and everyone goes back to normal.

Hope and Happiness Fairy was a good read. During the week of spring break two really good friends Rachel and Kristy, would spend a week at the Golden palace for a sleepover. They were overly excited that they would be treated like princesses and might get a chance to met some. Their first night there they get invited to a Fairyland ball. The girls agree to go. When there they meet the king and queen and the nine princess fairies. Shortly after the ball begin it is ruined when Jack Frost and his Goblins crash the ball and steal the princesses tiaras. This not only calls distress in the fairy world but the human world as well. Jack Frost explains he's going to send the Tiaras back into the human world where they princess will never find them. Before they able to Escobar the Queen make Sure that they end up at the Golden Palace. Kristy and Rachel are asked to go to the human world and help find the tiaras. After a good night us rest the girls are up and ready to start their day. They could see that the children all seemed unhappy and it was probably due to the Hope and Happiness Princess Fairy not having her crown. Soon the Hope and Happiness Fairy shows up and ask for the girls to help look for her crown. They spy the goblins secretly dressed as hedge cutters in the garden. Kristy, Rachel and the Hope and Happiness Princess Fairy over hear where her tiara is secretly hidden. After, chasing around a second group of goblins and tricking them into getting the magic tiara. Soon all smiles was place back on everyone faces.
This book then leads into another one where they set out to search for a different Fairy Princess tiara. I believe it's awesome that the books just continue onto the next leaving the child wanting to read more. I think this is an awesome beginner book for a young girl who loves princesses and fairies and a great way to keep them reading.

Rachel and Kristy just met the princess fairies and they saw Jack Frost storm into the room and steal the princesses magic crowns.
I love this book because how do the three friends find the magic crown? Well the goblins go into a maze and Hope uses her magic to make a pretend goblin.
Soon the other goblins pass the crown to the pretend goblin and the pretend goblin gives the crown to Hope.

i like the part when you get to see all the princess fairies in their gowns.

I am splitting the difference on this one. I would rate it a 3, but my 6 year old said it was "the most wonderful book ever!" and feels it is a solid 5.

Cute and fun with the right mix of magic and villains that aren't too scary.

Hope lost her tiara to Jack frost's goblins but Kirsty and Rachel helped her get it back. They tricked the goblins guarding it.

I liked it when Rachel and Kirsty sneaked up to get Hope's tiara from Goblin's head.

This is not a good book to use for a class project as it is to much for girls. The boys would not enjoy it.
