just got reminded of this series existence my favourites 🥲🥲🥲

I promise I am reading these for a project I’m doing with friends and that my reading taste hasn’t reverted to that of a six-year old (although I have to admit that the nostalgia makes me love this series all the same)

I just found these on here and am now marking them as read. I read them when I was little, but this brought back so many memories!

Lately I’ve been doing lots of readers advisory for kids so I’m trying to read more kids lit. These are definitely not great literature but they are high interest and low l’exile and are perfect for kids ready for beginning chapter books. They are also great for series lovers as there are about 83736 of these.

A good book for youngsters just starting out on their reading journey.

I am six (mom typing here). I like this book because I love fairies, and I think it is good because it is a rainbow magic book! It is exciting because there is a fun part - the fun part is when they turn into fairies!).

This is the third of seven books in the Rainbow Magic Jewel 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. Our oldest is starting to read them very quickly, too, and she ended up finishing four of these stories in one day.

Jan 2012 update: our youngest is now immersing herself in this series and is reading them very quickly, too. As inane as I thought they were, I love that this series is making readers of our girls. Hooray!

These Rainbow Magic fairy books are quite popular. The basic premise seems to be that two girls, Rachel and her friend Kirsty, have helped the fairies in Fairyland. The cause of all the mischief in Fairyland is Jack Frost, along with his band of goblins. In this particular subset, The Jewel Fairies, Jack Frost stole the seven jewels from the crown of the Fairy Queen. Jack Frost hid the jewels in the human world, so King Oberon and Queen Titania (Hooray for the Shakespeare reference!) have asked Rachel and Kirsty to help find the missing jewels. In this installment, two have been found and they are looking for the Emerald that belongs to Emily, the Emerald Fairy. These are easy chapter books, about the same reading level as Junie B. Jones. Incidentally, Daisy Meadows is the pen name for the 4 women who write this series.

much better read than i thought it would be. (the bar was really low) don't look for internal logic, the fairy can lift boxes and do other wonders w/her magic butis unable to lift a stuffed animal?

and if you think real deep about the message (i read it during my tenth viewing of men in black - had lots of time to think) it is about european/american oppression of indiginous peoples. fairyland, which has apparently existed for centuries, needs to be helped by little girls from america.
the native american really need europeans to explain property ownership and tell them they were nekkid. the aboriginies needed to be educated away from their own families to civilize them. poor ignorant kurds need borders explained to them by civilized folks.

the jewel fairies, imperialist proaganda or cute stories for little girls? next on oprah...

This book is good and I thing that there should be a band series I like the dance series because I am a dancer my self.

2 children who are friends of a fairy. Jack stole the jewels of the crown and the royalty cannot control the magic anymore. They will help to try get the jewels back.

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 Jewel fairies are : India the Moonstone Fairy, Scarlett the Garnet Fairy, Emily the Emerald Fairy, Chloe the Topaz Fairy, Amy the Amethyst Fairy, Sophie the Sapphire Fairy and Lucy the Diamond Fairy.Their gems control different types of magic like good dreams, changing, appearing (and disappearing) etc.

We love looking at the maps at the beginnings of the books. A different location for this series as Kirsty goes to stay with Rachel this time. Miss 4 liked the adventure playground best.

Miss 4 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.

This was a nice addition to the jewel fairy series. I felt like the first two were a bit simplistic, but this one took a bit more work and thinking before they could solve the problem. The goblin was engaging, and the story came together nicely. A strong continuation of the series. Hopefully it's turning around and will keep going in a stronger direction.

[Stella Schaefer-Brown · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a fun one! I liked the toy store setting and the showdown with the goblins has some fun twists and turns and I think the goblin flying the plane added some fear factor. That being said this new fairy power we have been introduced to of aiding in throwing accuracy feels like it could have maybe definitely been used before and would pretty frequently be helpful in the goblin altercations.

This was a read aloud with my 7 year old. These books are pretty boring from an adult perspective, but my daughter loves fairies so she enjoys them. There is a little adventure and a little suspense, all targeted at 5-8 year olds.

[Kim Sasso · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was introduced to these by my nine year old bookstore customer, Allie. I used to have a fairy "thing" with my niece Calloway and customary niece Grace both of whom have little girls of their own now, and I think these could make for a sweet new tradition. Simple story, easy read, and Fairies!!!

[Mary Pimbblet · Rating 2 out of 5]

I think the writers got a bit confused about the size of goblins, they’re small enough to fly a toy plane but then big enough to carry a toy cat without trouble, and run faster than full sized girls. Not a great effort.
