I didn't want to like these books but they are pretty cute. Great for new readers with funny illustrations.

Wow! I don't think I've ever been able to say that I have read Book #127 of a series before! This author can really crank them out! The Rainbow Magic series is soooo repetitive. In practically every book (I can't say that I've read all 127 books so there may be exceptions), an item is stolen by Jack Frost or his goblins. The girls Kristy and Rachel have to find the item and give it back to the respective fairy that it belongs to. In this book, a lollipop charm is stolen from Lisa the lollipop fairy. Without her charm, all lollipops in the world will taste like garbage. This part of the plot was hilarious to explain to my 3 year old daughter who was listening to the details of this book with rapt attention. (By the way, my daughter said she would have given this book 5 stars. I just can't go that high. My brain craves variety.) I would be interested to know how many of these books an average girl would read before the novelty wears off and they want to go on to another series. Does a series really need over 100 books in it? As I've mentioned before in other reviews of this series, I think this is a great series for kids who are transitioning from picture books to chapter books because there is a lot of picture support. The repetitive nature of the books (can be a bit cringe worthy as an adult) but is a big hit with kids. Since there is similar vocabulary words in each book, a child could work on reading fluency and expression. I like the fact that there are goblins in the book which makes the book tolerable for my son. I occasionally notice that he eavesdrops while I read Rainbow Magic books to his sister but he doesn't complain about them being too girly because he likes to hear about their antics.

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!

Lottie the Lollipop lady would be the sort of fun story about an ageing rotund jolly lollipop lady who is friends of all the school kids and has some sort of crisis and comes out of it smiling and being rotund and jolly and shining the way for the youngsters who cross the road, alas this is a fairy and there are no rotund jolly old ladies in sight but if you want another Rainbow Magic yarn then here it is - completely the same as the other ones.
I guess rather than a kid reading one book ten times here they read ten books one time each that are essentially one book.

[Kevin Hogg · Rating 3 out of 5]

Again, the first book in each of these series (subseries?) is designed to set up a longer plotline. This can make it hard for the first book to stand on its own, as a significant portion is dialog without action. This book in particular doesn't really pick up from there. The quest doesn't really go anywhere. Maybe there is a deeper message behind the solution, or maybe this particularly series is heading in a new direction. Not my favorite, but I'm willing to give the second book a chance.

The idea of a candy castle is wonderful, the only problem being that it’s Jack Frost that’s building it.
This is the usual confused mess of a predictable storyline. The author seems to have forgotten that goblins don’t like human sweet treats. The change into fairies is pointless but mandatory.
My six year old was cheering Jack Frost on in his quest to build a castle of treats. Not quite the reaction the Daisy Meadows group of authors aim for.

Jack Frost is up to his old tricks and has stolen more magic fairy items - this time from the sweet faeries. Kristy & Rachel are there meeting the sweet faeries when the theft happens, so of course they know what's going on when the sweets in their world lose their color and sweetness. For this installment, they'll recover Lottie's magical pink marshmallow, restoring all of the marshmallow sweets to their original yummy colors and flavors.

I've read it before, and its a really easy read (I read it in about 10-5 minutes), but tis a good story. I honestly miss the Rainbow Magic books, they had good morals and lessons, but they're a bit to easy.

[Eshy · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 / 5
It's a pretty good book for kids. I read it in 5 mins flat so i wouldn't recommend it for teenagers unless that's ur thing (nothing wrong with that) but for me I prefer longer and more mature topics! but this book brought back a lot of memories <3

[Liz Pitcher · Rating 2 out of 5]

No real conflict and too much emphasis on eating candy. The girls are casually given a large bag of candy to snack on.

[KarlaLou · Rating 5 out of 5]

She really loved this book.

[Kylie Abecca · Rating 3 out of 5]

The author is quite obviously running low on ideas now. The books are feeling like the same story, just written differently.

[Kenzli · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was good

[Alexandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

From my daughter:
I love it because I like fairies.

[Taqiyyah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well Done Fabulous Reading

[Alisha · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is just like candy: sweet and fun but not much else in the way of nutritional value.

I would recommend this book for children who want something easy/fun to read. Best for those who are ready for chapter books but not ready for a great challenge. Good for 2-3rd grade.

sweet!!!!!

[Scott · Rating 4 out of 5]

My daughter gave it 4 stars. The Rainbow Fairies are some of her favorites.

[Kim Weinbach · Rating 4 out of 5]

My kids like it.

[Bailie Govek · Rating 5 out of 5]

Aside from enjoying the book, I also received two lollipop hair clips that I really like.

[Sarah Liesemer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love it! Fairy books are very awesome.

[Jenn Ayers · Rating 5 out of 5]

This ended up being an adorable new start to another fairy adventure from the fairies my daughter adores! I love how these adventures keep her attention.

[Alyssa]

Do I have to rate these?? There are 8 billion of these rainbow fairy books, but they all have the exact same plot line, so they drive me a bit nuts. Luckily, I don't think my daughter is all that into them either.
