I really didn’t like this book. All the characters didn’t have any personality and they were all basically the same person with different names and looks. I really loved the bit when they became fairies. It was a really fast paced and fun book to read (, though it contained some pretty mature language). It had some scary bits that some kids probably wouldn’t be able to forget. Overall, I think a warning at the start would be nice. Apart from that, it was an extremely good book.

10 out of 10! This book is amazing. I love the pretty fairies and the pretty cover. I really like the characters because they're hilarious and unique. This book was nothing like I've ever read before. This book is something different. It's also quite advanced and had some words I didn't quite understand so I would recommend for ages 25+.

I love this Series....this book is so good. I highly recommend this book. I have put the rest of the books on Hold through my Library through the Evergreen Library System. I have Books 1 and 4 from the Library and this is Book #4 that I started and finished reading. Next is Book #1 in this series that I am going to read today. There are only 4 books in this Series and the ones that I have put on hold are Books #2 and #3.
I love Daisy Meadows as a Author...she is a excellent Author and I just love all of her books. I am planning on reading all of her books in all of the Series that she has ever written. She is a very beautiful Author.
Happy Reading :)

The book was really good definitely a five star. It was a really good shorter book witch is definitely different from the books I read. I have always loved the rainbow magic books but this one especially.

2.25 Stars!
This book was only okay; Shelley herself did most of the heavy lifting, which was shocking. I haven’t rated a bad Rainbow Magic book this high just because of the fairy since Paige the Christmas Play Fairy.
I love Shelley’s design; I think that pink and yellow is such an underrated combo, and this is the only instance where I don’t hate sandals as a shoe choice. (Okay, I do hate the necklace, but whatever, it’s fine.) Also, Shelley having a “bubbly” personality as the popping candy fairy is actually adorable! This is the type of super on-the-nose cheesy writing that I’m perfectly fine with.
Other moments I liked:
-I actually want to see more of Kirsty’s Aunt Helen in the future, she was such a fun and fresh character.
-“Jack Frost wanted lots and lots of candy for the new candy shop at his Ice Castle, but instead of selling the candy, he was going to eat it all himself.” - Honestly, I see no issues with this.Truly a man after my own heart.
-I really hope that the goblin that the girls and Shelley pelt with balls is the same little shit from Mary’s book.
Now here’s what annoyed me. So, Shelley is the sugar fairy in the US edition and the sherbet fairy in the UK edition - neither of which makes any sense to me when the other three have dominion over a specific type of candy. Moreover, neither sugar nor sherbet is referenced in this book; they keep talking about popping candy, so like, why wasn’t Shelley just the popping candy fairy? None of this makes any sense to me, and now I’m mad again.
Also, this is the same issue I had with Mary’s book - why are they using incantations for simple spells like giving the girls wings? Incantations are fun because they’re used for creative magic moments, and they’re actually rarely used (do not argue with me on this, I’ve read so many Rainbow Magic books, I know exactly what I’m talking about).

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!
