She lives in Cambridge, England with her husband and cats.

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 usually pretty repetitive, but this one had a goblin dressed as a princess who was living his best life. I’m sure there are some people who will try to ban this book because of it, but I give it 5 stars.
If I was younger I probably would have rated this book higher. It seems to be part of a larger series of books. Daisy Meadows is a house name for the fairy books, which must be popular as there are over 200 of them apparently. Truth be told I can see why they are popular, at least with their target audience. What little girl wouldn't like to have fairies as friends as do the two human protagonists. In this book the two girls, Rachel and Kirsty are trying to help a fairy princess regain her magical tiara which has been stolen and hidden by Jack Frost. We also have a couple of goblins just to make things a bit more interesting. The fairy in this book seems to be responisble for costumes and dressing-up so of course we also have a bit of that as well. In fact dressing-up seems to be important to the plot. The book was an easy read. It will of course delight your daughter, but adults will find they can easily read it without gagging. I read it to my youngest daughter a chapter a night and rather enjoyed myself. If you are looking for a series of books for a young girl (my two daughters are six and eight) then check this book and the others in the series out. Given the number of them that have been published you won't run out anytime soon.
Oh how my little girls love these books. Pictures on every page, and the villain really isn't scary at all. I am sensing that these books are all going to end up being very similar...
