After having taught in primary and secondary schools for several years she began to write full-time. Dhami has published many retellings of popular Disney stories and wrote the Animal Stars and Babes series, the latter about young British girls of Asian origin. 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.

Sue Mongredien was born in 1970 and grew up in Nottingham, England. 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.
Ahh ahaha, these books are literally so quick, the words are so big, there are only like three sentences per page 😂 I love how they are always stating they obvious. “ the hot air balloon is too heavy, that’s why we are sinking” or something like that. 5/5 stars, obviously 🙄
Cover: ★★★★ (Abigail's hair is definitely the most gorgeous out of all the rainbow fairies I've seen so far! And though her outfit is pretty simple, I love the orange colours and leaves associations for a breeze--makes it a total fall vibe!) Story: ★★★★★ Overall Rating: ★★★★.5 (rounded up) Ghostwriter: Sue Bentley Most Memorable Part(s): The cake competition--yummy! 😋
Review: The second adventure of this series takes place at a fair, where Kirsty's grandma is participating in a bake competition. The girls notice that something's off pretty quickly, as the wind is intense and is blowing everything around, from leaves to tents to the very cakes themselves!
Ahem, but anyway, this time around in chasing the goblin who has the weather feather, Kirsty herself is actually in danger for the first time, as the goblin's up in a hot air balloon and nearly knocks Kirsty out of it!
At the end of the day, quick thinking and quick flying both help to save the day, and another feather is recovered. Doodle's warning is a bit longer this time around as well, leaving more anticipation for the adventures to come. Onward!
Still a good story, though not as good as the first one with the weather fairies. I DO like how gutsy the girls are to go flying up after a hot air balloon in a windstorm. That takes courage, and it's a trait I admire in Rachel and Kirsty. Will keep reading...
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!
Second set in the fairy books. This is in the following school holidays. Rachel comes to stay with Kirsty in the village of Wetherbury. Jack Frost's goblins have stolen the tail weathers from Fairyland's weather-vane rooster and making weather chaos in Fairyland and the village. High winds are causing chaos at the village fete.
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.
If my five-year-old daughter wrote this review, she would give it five stars. She loves these books and we have read several in different series. For me, they feel repetitive as the story follows the same basic pattern every time. Jack Frost steals something and the two main characters--Kirsty and Rachel--have to help the fairies recover and in the process defeat the goblins and Frost. In this book, they had to recover an item in the midst of out of control winds. If you have a kid who loves fairies, these books will be a favorite.
Obviously, this wasn't the first time I read this book. I've had several from this collection since I was little and they've always been one of my favorites. Today, due to nostalgia, I decided to reread it (even though they were books aimed at a completely different age group than mine) and I didn't regret it. I already intend to reread all the others I have!
The illustrations, the simple vocabulary that, at the same time, allows children to learn new words, the super cute fairies... everything makes this book incredible for children who are just starting to enter the world of literature.
super happy when i found this in our local second hand book shop today!! i found three Rainbow magic books. reminds me of my childhood and i will definitely look for my old Rainbow magic books so that i can put all of them somewhere together.
it’s really just all about them looking for the goblin that stole the fairy’s Breeze feather. 💨 it’s a very quick read, so i don’t want to give it all away, you should read it!
Back to childhood with this children's book! I have to admit that it suits me well in my reading challenges, being very easy to read. Even so, I enjoyed immersing myself in this cute little universe which, in my humble opinion, deserves more notoriety.
While searching the internet, I did find that a handful of nostalgic fans are still talking about it on various platforms, which warmed my heart. Long live the magic fairies! 🧚♀️🧚🧚♂️
Kirsty’s neighbourhood/village/small town? Of Weather-by (spelling?) seems really lovely. Makes me want to visit.
I also very much want to visit RainSpell island too (the setting of the Rainbow Fairies series)
Some Notes:
- Seems like it’s set in Scotland - Neighbour call Kirsty “lass” - The narrator is definitely Scottish/putting on a Scottish accent - Set in the Country
It's nice to be able to get straight into the story, and the fair (or fête) is a good starting point. The wind causes some fun trouble, and I particularly appreciated the goblin in this story. The girls don't have a lot to figure out, but the cause of the goblin's problems makes the story memorable and funny.
This is actually one of the better ones of the Rainbow Fairies series. It has a plot of sorts, and they actually have to trick the goblin. It’s still not great though, but my six year old continues to love these fairy books, so I’ll keep on reading them with her.
Abigail the Breeze Fairy has been blown off-course without her wispy wind feather. Will Rachel & Kirsty be able to find the feather & bring calm to the blistery village fete?
