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!

I have read a previous book in this series. I feel any of them work as stand alone stories so can be read in any order.

The environmental message is strong and helpful. The story is not the longest but still felt to drag a little.

One message this series could give that is problematic is that going to strange places with no guarantee of getting back is something you can do. With a stranger and with danger present. The first few pages of this one could have been the start of a horror novel without changing a word.

Jack Frost and his goblins were trying to steal the wand. But guess what! Lily, Kirsty, and Rachel helped save the wand by putting bananas in their bulldozers and tying them up with vines. Then they stole the wand and gave it back to Lily.

My little sister's thoughts:
It's a good because it encourages taking care of the wild rain forest and not wrecking it. We rated only three stars, because of the bad literature.

This one has been my favourite so far - I love that the book gives kids practical tips on how to actively protest against the destruction of the rain forest (or anything else for that matter) by sticking bananas up the exhaust pipes of bulldozers to cause them to break down. Pro-active fairies for the 21st Century. What's not to love?

Now Rachel and Kristy have to help lily the rainforest fairy. Will they do it or will Jack Frost and his goblins takeover the rainforest?

I love these earth fairy books. At first I thought that I wouldn't be able to read these books, but when I found them I was happy!
