3.25 Stars!
Savannah is absolutely giving wannabe Miss Frizzle, but I love her boots! Personality-wise, she’s easily my favourite. She was proactive, had a solution for everything (Rachel asked for a lasso and she conjured up a lasso) and knew how to use both the environment and her knowledge of the animal she has domain over to her advantage.
Okay, slight tangent; zebras using their stripes as camouflage is a very real thing - I looked it up!(The more you know, I guess.) I also think that this was highlighted really well through the book; first by having Savannah explain what camouflage is since the blue and white stripes of her dress blended in with Kirsty’s hat, then by having Savannah change herself and the girls into black and white dresses in order to blend in with the herd and stay out of the goblins’ sight.
The goblins were really fun in this one too! Honestly, the short goblin was an icon. He really said ‘I’m the only goblin with a brain cell, I don’t need a fucking magical object to get shit done’ and I love that for him. And the two goblins in that fuckass zebra disguise was actual nightmare fuel. (The one who was the head was so over it by the end, and I can’t even blame him.)
Other thoughts that are relevant to me:
-The dialogue for the deer killed me. (Bonus points for them acknowledging that it’s weird that two human girls know how to communicate with them.)
-Ziggy the baby Zebra was another great animal character, although I didn’t love him nearly as much as I loved Missy.
-I have concerns about the illustration of the lasso because it was fairy-size in Rachel’s hands, but then goblin-size when the goblin was captured, so am I to just assume this magic lasso can change in size?
-Menace!Rachel how I missed you! Threatening to tie the goblin up was the most in-character she’s felt to me so far.

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!

My daughter loves this series. I've been reading these with her and definitely enjoyed this one. Who wouldn't like a book with a baby zebra? It was cute and I recommend it to fairy and animals lovers.

My daughter loved this one. She lives zebras and was excited to have a story featuring them. She was eager to read the book every day and had no problem following the plot. She is 6 1/2.
