It's a lovely little story, about how humans need to care for the environment. I read the whole series with and enjoyed it immensely ❤️! Will definitely recommend to any little girl or any adult who still loves fairies!

The fairy king and queen just put together a new team of seven fairies for a very special mission.Together ,they’re going to work their magic to clean up the environment. They went to the beach to that was covered with garbage, and its putting the sea creatures in danger. But Nicole the beach fairy can’t do much without her missing wand. They saw a family at the beach and the family helped them out to clean the beach. The little boy and girl said that they a saw a boy throwing trash into the water it was not a little boy it was a goblin. They told the goblin that he might have the wand but he can't fly. SO the goblin tapped the wand on top of his head and he got wings.

Reading this series with my 6 year old daughter and she absolutely loves these books! While they leave much to be desired for me in my 30s, I do think they’re a fun, creative way to introduce different topics to kids. This series is all about caring for the earth and my daughter loves talking about it!

Rachel and Kirsty return on holiday to Rainspell Island. They are shocked by how much litter there is on the beach and enlist the help of the fairies to help clean up the environment and learn more about environmentally friendly practices. The Green Fairies are: Nicole the Beach Fairy, Isabella the Air Fairy, Edie the Garden Fairy, Coral the Reef Fairy, Lily the Rainforest Fairy, Milly the River Fairy and Carrie the Snow Cap Fairy.
The fairies must be in a dream,
If they think they can be called 'green'.
My goblin servants are definitely greenest,
And I, of course, am by far the meanest.
Seven fairies out to save the Earth?
This idea fills with full of mirth.
I'm sure the world, has had enough
Of fairy magic and all that stuff.
So I'm going to steal the fairies' wands,
And send them into human lands.
The fairies will think all is lost,
Defeated again, by me, Jack Frost!
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.

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!

One of the things that I love about these books, that keeps me coming back, is the creativity in creating different stories. I think it would be easy to assume every single Rainbow Magic book had the same plot, but they really don’t. Some are even more standout than others and this was a particularly great one!

It’s about two girls named Kirsty and Rachel helping Nicole. Nicole is a fairy who loves beach’s but Jack Frost stole ONE magical object. The magical object is Nicole’s wand. My favorite part of this book is when Nicole got her wand back because it was a happy ending to me.

A book with an environmental message.
Aimed at young readers but I feel they would need help with some of the words. A simplistic story and outcome that is slightly less important than the message.

Pointless. It's all about litter.

A brilliant, short and easy read with magic, adventure, friendship and an important message about keeping the planet green.

I have literally read like so many of these books, but I don’t feel like searching all of them up on here🤣 The Green Fairies were the first books I owned that were part of the Rainbow Maggie Series. Ahh the good old days😂

Soon a fairy appeared and she said she was going to help them.It was her job to keep the environment clean and green. But she lost her wand so she has to find it or things will get so much harder for her.The Queen put another new team. It was The Green Fairy ( the Earth Fairy in U.S) !!! The fairy Rachel and Kristy are helping is Nicole the Beach Fairy.Later they found a goblin with her wand.They had a plan to get it back. But the goblin used the wand to get him wings.The three had to follow him.

When Rachel and Kristy were going to the beach they litter everywhere! So they started picking it all up.
Soon they met a beach fairy named Nicole. She said that she needed find her magic wand so she could control everything by the beach.
Rachel and Kristy wanted to be fairies, but Nicole was only a fairy in training so it was her first time turning people into fairies.
But she did it pretty good.
Pretty soon they spotted a goblin kicking litter into the water. But when he saw the fairies he hid the wand behind his back.
They were wandering what to do when suddenly Kristy had an idea! She explained her idea to her friends and they said "yes".
To know what idea she had you have to read the whole book. This book is great!
It is also the first time I've read this book, and I like it.
