My 4-year-old and I listened to this audiobook, narrated by Sophia Myles, and it was really enjoyable and exciting! There were many moments in which we gasped - this is such an adventure for little ones, but even I was taken with this fun fairy story. Bravo!

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'm delighted to have been able to immerse myself once again in this magical world! With its summer vacation theme, it took me back to childhood on long car journeys to a summer destination.

Note that this book is larger than most in this universe. Unfortunately, that doesn't make it any more interesting. Although I'm aware that this is a children's book, the whole thing is extremely repetitive.

Even my seven year old was yelling at the complete idiocy of this book. Fairies that can fly across a whole island, but somehow not to the top of a tower was just too stupid an idea for a young child to buy in to.

I like Summer because she makes sure that the sand is saved from Jack Frost and his naughty goblins.

Pretty awful plot solutions, sorry :(
(Even my daughter who I read it to said she is cleverer than these big girls.)

Large text, lots of colour pictures, and a map. Miss 3 is enjoying these and incorporating fairies into her social play.

Miss 3 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.
