She lives in Cambridge, England with her husband and cats.
Sue Bentley was born in Northampton, England. She worked in a library after completing her education and began writing for children once her own began school. Bentley is the author of the Magic Kitten, Magic Puppy, and S Club series and lives in Northamptonshire.

She has published over 100 children's books, including the following series: The Adventures of Captain Pugwash, The Magic Key, Frightful Families, and Oliver Moon. She has also contributed many titles to the Sleepover Club series and written picture books. Mongredien created the Royal Ballet School Diaries under the pen name Alexandra Moss. She lives with her family in Bath, England.
I loved the whole thing. There was a cupcake fairy who gave Kirsty and Rachel cupcakes that said thank you. It was really special because that was a nice thing to do.
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!
After a few surprisingly reasonable books to start this series of the Rainbow Fairies, this book brings it back down to a completely nonsensical level. Cupcakes go wrong then are magically repaired without anyone noticing, bakers make hundreds of cupcakes immediately without payment, goblins are let loose in an open shop without anyone seeing anything. Even my six year old was unimpressed, but she’s just desperate to start the chocolate fairy for an excuse to read about chocolate.
I really liked Coco the Cupcake Fairy because Jack Frost pretended that he was an adult and the goblins were his kids and asked the baker to make 200 cupcakes with their faces on them, which was really funny!
Con the Cupcake what next Caitlyn the Crumpet Mikayla the Muffin? Brianna the Boiled Lolly Anyway more of the same with this well sweet story in more ways than one.
