My seven year old daughter and I enjoyed reading this aloud together. It's a simple concept in all of these fairy books. In this one Lindsay the Luck Fairy has 3 of her lucky charms stolen by the goblins by order of Jack Frost and her human friends Kristy and Rachel help her get them back so things are no longer mixed up and confusing in the human world.

It's St. Patricks day weekend and once again some special magic charms are missing. Rachel and Kristy need to help Lindsay the luck fairy recover her lucky items. If they don't then everyone is in for bad luck. Can they find the items before the goblins and Jack Frost get them? It looks like it's not just goblins the girls are dealing with this time could this be good luck or bad for them? You'll have to read the book to find out all about Kristy and Rachel's magic adventure.

I enjoy reading the Rainbow Fairy books with my five-year-old daughter. It's a fun series. The stories are simple, but engaging for young readers, and the books are organized into chapters and sections for easy comprehension. My daughter particularly enjoys finding the hidden letters (which, when unscrambled, spell a word related to the story). We particularly enjoyed this St.-Patrick's-Day-themed edition.

Lindsay the luck fairy is missing her magic objects, so Rachel and Kristy help find the missing charms. Without the charms nowone in the world will have luck again.

[Lizbeth ??? · Rating 3 out of 5]

All the books in this series are similar. Only the fairies and objects change. The plot is always the same. It's too repetitive. I'm going to stop reading it now.

---Lindsay the Luck Fairy keeps all of the lucky magic on St. Patrick's Day, but when Jack Frost and his goblins steal her lucky charms, Lindsay is all out of luck. It's up to Rachel and Kirsty, friends of the fairies, and Lindsay to get the lucky charms back! Will they succeed before St. Patrick's Day is a total flop?

All of these books are perfect for holidays/special occasions for early readers!
I loved these books when I was younger and still have a shelf full of them!
The special editions (like these ones) were my favorite because they were longer than the regular ones.
There are black and white illustrations on lots of the pages which helps younger ones visualize the story!

When I was little, I used to think that the books were scary because some of my friends told me they had goblins in them. But then I read one of the books and loved it! The goblins were funny and clumsy!

Thank you for reading my review! Follow @bronteandwilder on Instagram for fun book recommendations!

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 fairy has my name! Of course I had to read it.
I’ve never heard of this series until I saw this book and some others in the series at the used bookstore. Instead of buying it I found it on the library ebook site.
It’s about two friends Rachel & Kirsty who are elementary school aged and apparently they can see & talk to fairies and they help the fairies fight against Jack Frost and he’s goblins. Wouldn’t Jack Frost have an army of snow goblins? Oh well.
In this book the girls help Lindsay the Luck Fairy find her three lucky items that are missing before the goblins can find them. For a kids book it was decent. Maybe I’ll get some for my niece.

Listen, I'm going to be honest. The second-grader is very into these books and makes me read them with her, and I am really NOT into them and have absolutely no idea which ones we've read because there are literally hundreds of them and they are all exactly the same. Jack Frost's goblins steal some macguffin that will prevent the fairies from doing their (actually super Christian) fairy thing, the fairies to go Rachel and Kirsty for help, they turn into fairies and retrieve the macguffin, the end.

In this Special Edition, Kirsty and Rachel set out to help Lindsay recover her three magic items before St. Patrick's Day. Though Jack Frost is responsible for stealing the items, the trio of heroines find themselves up against the goblins and perhaps the town leprechaun as well. The leprechaun is fabled to be a trickster, but may also bring the girls just the luck they need to help their fairy friend. Another enjoyable read aloud for my six-year-old and just in time for spring!

I love the magical, mystical plot this story has! It's great for second-graders!

Decent. Three lucky charms go missing and the girls have to find them for a fairy before the evil goblins do. C

[Natali]

Read dozens of these to my daughters. You can finish them in 1-2 days. They’re formulaic but the kids still love them.

J'ai lu ce livre pour pratiquer mon français! Quand j'étais enfant, j'aimais cette série de livres. C'était un défi amusant.

[Karin · Rating 3 out of 5]

More interesting than the short books. Resolution with the leprechaun would have been nice.

[Meghan · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was the first chapter book I read to my 4 year old. She was super engaged in the stories. Good choices for first chapter book for youngins

[KaitandMaddie · Rating 4 out of 5]

The plot is formulaic, but the girls enjoyed it as a St Patrick’s Day read.

[Rose · Rating 5 out of 5]

A quick, easy read that commemorates St. Patrick’s Day. The Rainbow Magic books are full of fun, adventure, friendships, and teamwork. Lindsay the Luck Fairy added luck and magic to those concepts that are great for young readers to learn.

This book was good!

I liked it.

[Kate Riolo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Do you think that fairies are lucky? If you think yes your right. I think they are lucky because they have their own biography.

[Anya Gupta · Rating 5 out of 5]

I liked it when Kirsty asked the gobllin to throw his magic hat in the air so that he could do the cartwheel. Rachel and Kirsty were thus able to get the hat back.
