It has a fluttering fairy bookmark inside. I love Fairy Magic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have read 50 books in the series. They are all great. Mia is my favorite fairy. I think she looks like me.

"When I attend a party, I expect all the attention!" (Jack Frost being a relatable king as always)
Re-read with my bud Mikala obviously because my name is Mia. Mia and I share barely any features as I am not blonde and have been to only one wedding in my life (that being one of my kindergarten teacher's weddings of which I was certainly not a bridesmaid). It's ok though because she's a queen and she's taking care of people's weddings. My favourite story was probably 'The Golden Bells' because the goblins were swimming - they had goggles and swimming caps on which was funny ok? A pretty perfect book if you ask me.

Kirsty and Rachel need to help Mia the bridesmaid fairy get her three magical items back from Jack Frost's goblins. This was another fun adventure from the team of writers that are known as Daisy Meadows.

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!

Mia the Bridesmaid Fairy is an absolute delight! From the moment I engaged her services, she brought a magical touch to my wedding planning experience. Her attention to detail, creative suggestions, and genuine enthusiasm made everything feel special and effortless. Mia went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the bridal party was perfectly coordinated, and her warm personality truly made her feel like part of the family. Thanks to Mia, my wedding day was not only beautiful but also stress-free, allowing me to focus on making memories with my loved ones. I can't recommend her enough for any bride looking to add a sprinkle of fairy-tale charm to their big day!

3.5 Stars!
This was a cute book! There are certain things that were a little odd and maybe I would’ve done it differently, but this is a pretty enjoyable book.
Pros:
>I love that Mia came to them not because she had a crisis, but because the King and Queen just wanted the girls to be happy and enjoy the wedding. It also makes for a great red herring.
>Mia holding her ground in front of Jack Frost because most fairies are terrified of him.
>Despite not liking what the items represent, I think the execution was one of the more interesting ones I’ve seen in Rainbow Magic books.
>>For example, in the wrong hands, the penny could be used to steal money even though it’s the weakest of the three items. I like that there were consequences for the goblins having these items in their possession that didn’t just affect weddings.
>>I love the little backstories about the items and I wish more books in the series did this so we could have some type of lore to work with. Like, three items didn’t just randomly appear in front of Mia one day, there’s an actual story behind it. I love the bells being a gift from the leprechaun because then you’re kind of left wondering like, oh, was there a different item or only two items before? And again, just like with the penny, I like that there’s an interesting consequence of the goblins having the bells - in this case, luck being in their favour and making it probably the hardest item for the girls and Mia to obtain.
>>The silver veil, again, super cool item. I loved the connection between the eclipse and the veil with it being made from moonlight. But also, what do you mean it belonged to the first Queen of Fairyland??? I thought it was always just Oberon and Titania.
>The illustration emphasizing the “warty goblin’s” … well, wart. Also, that chain down the well is so in character for the goblins it’s not even funny. Have they ever been scary?
>Reference to India the Moonstone Fairy because I love references to previous fairies. (She does get referenced a lot though!)
Cons:
>Jack Frost is such a menace! He’s annoying when he’s not invited to shit and he’s annoying when he is invited to shit like DUDE, enough already. Also, you’d think they’d have better security by now so the goblins can’t keep stealing all the fairies’ shit but no.
>I have some gripes with these items.
>>The penny is actually a really interesting magical item to have because it’s not the first object I’d associate with a wedding. (I’ve actually never heard of that “penny for her shoe” bit.) But I don’t know, I find it odd that one, the bridesmaid fairy would need to worry about the couple having a successful marriage; and two, pennies are usually associated with good luck, like I can’t even begin to tell you how many people I’ve seen gush over their lucky pennies, so it would’ve made more sense for it to represent luck and it still works with the backstory with the leprechaun.
>>I mean, the bells were a given, but instead of good luck, maybe they could’ve been the item to represent happiness and then the veil could’ve had something to do with the bride specifically.
>I would’ve let the goblins fall out of the tree and before someone yells at me about this being a children’s book, I would like to remind you all that Paige the Christmas Play Fairy did not hesitate to let the goblins meet their doom (she only reluctantly changed her mind at the last second).
>“It was kind of scary to think about facing lots of goblins” - what do you mean?? You guys literally do this on the regs.

January 21, 2020This book contains 3 stories featuring Rachel, Kirsty and Mia the Bridesmaid Fairy. The mean Jack Frost has stolen 3 special magical items from Mia: a silver sixpence, some golden bells and the moonshine veil. Each short stories follows Rachel and Kirsty as they help Mia retrieve one of the 3 items.
This book is part of the Rainbow Magic series; however, this is a standalone book featuring 3 short stories around one adventure and one fairy. The nature of this book means it can be read at any time, unlike the other Rainbow Magic books, which must be read in order.
The Rainbow Magic books are perfect for young girls to introduce them to chapter books. Each story is short (5-10 minutes) with plenty of illustrations. The stories are adventurous and full of magic with special powers and abilities. Although every book follows the same type of story line, the variety in fairies and obstacles is enough to keep young girls interested as they are introduced to a new fairy in each book, hence the titles of the books.
Ideal for: young children aged 5-8 years old, especially girls.
