This is the review of my 7 year old daughter, Sydney.
This was the best of all of the Ocean Fairy books! I read this book all in one night. I wanted to find out what happened so I just kept reading. Jack Frost showed up in this book and I really liked that part because it was funny.
In this book the faires meet with Courtney the Clownfish fairy as they they find the last piece of the golden shell. When the fairies meet Courtney, she had lost her pet Clownfish who was out searching for the last piece of the shell. During their search they run into bad guys like the goblins and Jack frost.
I liked this one the best because it was really funny and because it finished the story and I was glad that they were able to find all of the pieces of the Golden Shell. The Ocean Fairy books are very interesting because they place at many different places like the beach, houses, boats,carnivals and the ocean. I liked that I was able to find out about a new fairy in every single book. Now I am excited to read a new fairy series.
You should read this because it is good for grades 1-3 and its helps you with your reading. These books have helped me with my reading and they can help you with your reading too!

This series was so much fun to reread. Reading books like this always make me happy. Anyways back to reading 300+ page books now.

What a great way to end the series! This was probably my favourite book after Stephanie’s, although I still have Amelie and Pia’s books left. This book had so many fun quotes and scenes, so I’m just gonna talk about them in particular order.
He pulled out a long orange balloon and twisted it into the shape of a fish.
Okay, time for another deranged theory from me! There is no way this was coincidence, Courtney was probably like, ‘oh a clown doing balloon animals is a perfect way for me to make a dramatic entrance, okay clown, time to make me an orange clownfish to chill inside and also make sure you give it to one of those two that are linking arms’ and you can’t convince me otherwise. Also, it would’ve been so funny if Courtney actually popped her way out of the balloon.
Penguins and seals zoomed down a huge column of rock that looked just like a giant slide. Whales and dolphins flipped and spun, as if they were performing gymnastics. Other creatures seemed to be dancing in front of the flashing lights created by a group of lanternfish.
Okay, the underwater carnival is so creative and what a cool parallel to the carnival the girls were at earlier (a spinning octopus ride with an actual octopus HELLO). This felt like such a fun environment and I like it when every now and then, you’ll the odd book or series have interesting settings like this one or like that book festival the girls were at in the Storybook Fairies.
Courtney, however, didn’t look so happy. “Hmmm,” she said. “I’m glad the sea creatures are enjoying themselves, but a lot of them shouldn’t be in this part of the ocean!”
Courtney lowkey being a party pooper is so funny, she’s like, ‘so glad you’re having fun, but all these animals being together is literally just further proof of how fucked the oceans still are, now let’s go’ and that simply could not have been, I would’ve stayed at the party longer, fuck the dying ecosystem.
“and one silly goblin even lifted a seal’s flipper to peer underneath it! The seal glared at him before swimming away with its nose in the air.”
“one of the goblins tickled a giant clam to make it open. The goblin peered inside the clam, looking for the piece of shell. He backed away quickly when the clam shell almost slammed shut on his long nose!
I don’t I think I can ever explain how hard I laughed at the illustrations of these scenes.
Orange fairy dust swirled from it, and several new attractions sprang up. There was a booth with shells to knock down, a Tug-of-War tent with a thick rope of seaweed to pull, and a “Test Your Strength” tower.
I love how Courtney’s additions to the underwater carnival were catered to the goblins and their need for chaos and competition.
Courtney wasn’t about to give up without a fight, though. She waved her wand, sending a shower of sparkles whirling toward Jack Frost.
Courtney is truly the bravest of them all! She really went, ‘I will not let that overgrown icicle scare me or push me around’ and I truly love her the most for that. She literally shot a spell him and I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever seen a fairy do that to Jack Frost (also, we established in the Green Fairies series that fairy wands can do no harm, so technically this isn’t really her attacking him, but it’s the closest we’ve gotten). She might not be on the same level as Shannon or Paige, but I’m putting right above Robyn the Christmas Party Fairy on my list of fairies that should never get their hands on a gun. At the same time though, she did feel the most similar to Shannon, between her aggression and her being the only other fairy to come up with a solid plan all on her own.
But a brave little Squirt flapped a fin to beckon his friends, and a whole group of clownfish launched themselves at Jack Frost.
No but the look on his face and the way he was pointing his little fin and Jack Frost… Squirt was leading an army and absolutely out for blood because how dare you nearly murder Racher Walker?!
“Never mind, Your Frostiness,” one of the goblins said to him sympathetically. “Come and take a turn on the twisty slide. It’s so much fun!”
I like that we ended the series without anyone having to explain to Jack Frost like he’s five that there are ways to enjoy the ocean and if you don’t, there’s no need to destroy a whole ecosystem over it. He saw his goblins having fun and came to that realization all on his own and I think that’s kindf of sweet. I’m always a sucker for any hints of a much more caring dynamic between Jack Frost and his goblins, and I like it when they have fun interactions together.
Other things I want to point out because they’re relevant to me:
-Courtney’s outfit is not bad, it just looks exactly something I would’ve worn in middle school and now I’m getting trauma flashbacks.
-“Where’s Courtney?” is a CHOICE for the a first chapter title.
-“The oceans are a still a mess.” - lols, Courtney please
-I know it’s the billionth time I’m mentioning the breathing bubbles, but I like that they specified a colour for once and having them be orange like Squirt was cute.
-Not the clowfish playing tag with the anemones.
-Dare I say, best fairy and magical animal pairing of the entire series. They were just happy to see each other and more affectionate than any of the others were (at least from what I observed).
-I love the five seconds of foreshadowing to Jack Frost being here - the ocean getting darker and colder, Kirtsy feeling goosebumps and the anemones and clams closing up.
-Of course Jack Frost brought a whole ass some marine along with his goblin army.
-OH MY GOD, one wrong move by Jack Frost and that would’ve been it for our girl Rachel Walker. (I do believe that Kirsty would avenge her! I know Rachel’s usually more likely to be a menace, but Kirsty can be pretty scary.)
-I love that the girls got conch shells of their own to hear Shannon’s songs any time they want, it’s up there in terms of meaningful presents. (I remember being so pissed that all they got from Cara the Camp Fairy were friendship bracelets that they could probably make on their own.)

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 found this to be a good conclusion to the series. There were enough plot points to keep it interesting, and the big showdown was fun. Jack Frost is a great character, so it was nice to see him back (although he could have been around a bit longer or had more lines). It was nice to see everything wrapped up, and even the conclusion for the goblins was satisfying. It was my first time finishing a series, and it was nice to see a balance of the predictability for younger readers with enough new situations to maintain interest.

This is the last book of the series and Rachel and Kirsty go on their last adventure. I wouldn’t change a thing about this series but the only thing is that I would make it longer. I really like this book.

This is the last of seven books in the Rainbow Magic Ocean 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 feature sea creatures, so I enjoyed this book slightly more than some of the others. Our oldest is starting to read them very quickly, too, and she ended up finishing four of these stories in one day.

I liked this story because Jack Frost and 10 goblins went looking for the shell piece and the 3 fairies were looking for it too. Squirt the clown fish knew where the shell piece was. It was in an anemone.
May 3, 2012
Yup they are cute and all the same.
June 2, 2012
this is best best book ever. it is a awesome book because i think it should have more pagies because it is the best book i have ever read of the ocean fairies. you should read this book.
March 21, 2013
Overall, this was a pretty goodlittle series. Good for young readers and very fun for marine animal lovers. I had a blast reading these.
