I got this for my 7-year-old daughter who loves the rainbow fairy books. Anyone who has read any of them before will know why. They are designed perfectly for girls around her age and are a good tool for helping them make the transition into reading chapter books. Each story features best friends Kirsty and Rachel helping out a fairy friend from Fairyland in their perpetual battle against Jack Frost and the goblins. This one is no different.

This story features Meghan the Wedding Sparkle Fairy. As such it is a “cash-in” given the publication being a month prior to the wedding of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle. This is not the first time these Rainbow Fairy books have been published to tie-in with real-life events involving the British royal family. For example there is Georgie the Royal Prince Fairy published a few months after Prince George was born, and Kate the Wedding Fairy (who makes an appearance in this book too), published in advance of the wedding of Prince William and Kate. Of course young children won’t realise this so much. In fact it may be a bonus to have a book tied in to a real-life event. It may give your child an added interest in that event or in the book.

The story starts with best friends Kirsty and Rachel playing in Tippington Park. There they encounter one woman struggling to write her wedding vows. They also overhear a couple arguing about wedding planning. “It doesn’t seem to be a very good day for engaged couples,” says Kirsty, and they soon find out why – Jack Frost has stolen Meghan the Wedding Sparkle Fairy’s magical engagement ring. “It helps me to look after the magic of matrimony everywhere,” says the fairy but without it her magic doesn’t happen. It’s up to Rachel and Kirsty to help Meghan and to save the day and quickly before a royal wedding that is soon to take place in Fairyland happens. This time though it will be hard because the ring “makes things go sparklingly well for whoever is wearing it” which in this case is Jack Frost.

Along the way there are a number of clear and simple pictures to bring the words alive, and the story is written in big text ideal for early readers, as well as mostly being written in easy, accessible language. It's also good for my daughters to see female lead characters who are not that dissimilar to them in the two girls Rachel and Kirsty (except for the magic that turns them into fairies of course).

As for my daughter she loved the story, the pictures and also the opening poem. If I was to be critical I would say that if you read a lot of these rainbow fairy books then the plots are rather similar with each story being written to a formula – the girls, Kirsty and Rachel, having to recover a lost item for the cover fairy from Jack Frost and the goblins who have stolen it – but my daughter doesn't mind, and maybe familiarity is good for her age group.

Overall a typical rainbow fairy story that little girls will love.

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!
