3.5 Stars!
As you can probably tell by the rating, this is my favourite book from this series so far. There are tons of cute scenes of Rachel and Kirsty, lots of really funny moments, an excellent scene near the end with Jack Frost and his goblins and overall, I feel like there was genuine effort put into the story.
I want to start off with Eleanor’s design because it is honestly the least offensive so far. I think her bangs are atrocious and I wish they’d gone for maybe a bluish-purple instead of pink as her main colour (although I love the yellow accents), but other than that, I actually kind of like her design. I think the headband was a really nice touch, I like the style of her dress a lot and she’s wearing the cutest heels! I also think that the objects emitting from her wand are really interesting because it’s not just apples, there’s a comb as well which is such a wonderful nod to the original fairy tale. (I love that they also made it her magical item!)
Speaking of the original fairy tale, I liked the references brought into this book and also some of the creative liberties that were taken. I thought the implication of the Magic Mirror being its own character was really interesting and it was used quite well. I also loved the dresses for Snow White and the Evil Queen! Rainbow Magic said ‘FUCK DISNEY, we’re giving Snow White a much cuter and actually period-accurate dress’ and they’re so real for that.
This book also had one of the most solid first chapters from Rainbow Magic, which is very surprising coming from this series. The girls rarely spend time just getting ready and talking like this, which was kind of refreshing to see. Especially since the first chapter is usually just mainly exposition, so this was a nice change of pace.
My favourite scenes/quotes:
-Okay, lowkey, when Eleanor gasped and almost fell off the branch she was sitting on, I thought it was because Jack Frost called himself pretty. The actual reason was that he had her magical comb in his hand, but it was still a really funny moment that was further heightened by the illustration of Eleanor nearly falling off a tree branch.
-“Just that you are so handsome,” said Kirsty. “Your hair is beautifully spiky and your beard is as icy and shiny as fresh snow.” // “No one could look more wonderful than you,” said Rachel. “Oh please, may we have the honor of combing your beard for you?” - They’re such little shits, I love them.
-You know, this series is really Kirsty’s turn to be a menace because she put a whole target on Jack Frost’s back with zero hesitation. She really said, ‘he wants to be the prettiest in the land, then let him be the prettiest in the land, I want to see the Evil Queen beat him up.’ (honestly, I’m with her on this, put them in the ring together, my money’s on the Evil Queen since Jack Frost was literally terrified of her but he’s also really annoying so you never know)
-I love the dynamic between Jack Frost and the goblins so much in this book! They had the cutest scene ever near the end where the goblins tried to comfort him because of how sad he was over not being the prettiest.
Details I can’t stop thinking about:
-Rachel and Kirsty wearing matching dresses for this entire book, and also them doing each other’s hair.
-I liked that little moment of the girls thinking that it’s kind of funny to be wearing fake wings when they know how real ones feel.
-Jack Frost is actually so Evil Queen-coded if you think about it. (He and Maleficent should’ve met, they’re probably long-lost twins or something.)

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!

This is exactly the continuation I was hoping for after the first book. The series started on a strong note, and this one is even better. It's one of the funniest books in the Rainbow Magic series, and it does a great job of giving some balance to Jack Frost's character. He's causing trouble, but it isn't just malicious. The book does a great job of avoiding gender stereotypes--Jack Frost wants to be the prettiest fairy in all the land, and nobody jumps in to tell him that he can't be. I've read dozens of these books with my children, and this was definitely one of my favourites.

This isn’t the worst of the Rainbow Fairies series, but it isn’t great. The fairytale event that Kirsty and Rachel are supposed to be attending seems very badly organised, but my daughter loves the idea of staying in a castle like they are.

Takes place in the same universe as some fairy tales. This one is less annoying than many of the others in this series. Chosen by my 6yo from the library. Quick read. Took one night.

I bought this in a set at my daughter's school book fair. We read it together in one sitting as it's only 65 pages. She really enjoyed it and looks forward to reading the next one next weekend! I believe most little girls ages 7-9 would love these books!
