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!
Much better than the usual Rainbow Fairies standard. My girls are all involved in guiding, so setting this on a Brownie camp was a nice touch. The plot actually made sense for once, with the activities tying in to the plot. The chicks hatching in the egg and spoon race is a lovely little touch. My six year old loved this book, and I was pleasantly surprised that this was vastly better than most of this series.
First of all, this is a very vague title. "Party fun" seems to refer to games, so maybe that would be a better title. Anyhow, my child is finding it really amusing that the girls can't do anything without finding a party in this series. I like the change of setting in this one, and the chase was my favourite part. I wish it could have lasted a bit longer, but it was well written. A nice addition to the series.
Third set in the fairy books. Rachel comes to stay with Kirsty in the village of Wetherbury again for a week. Jack Frost is locked up in his ice castle but determined to throw a bigger and better party than the suprise 1000th Jubilee for the Fairy King and Queen. His goblins are ruining parties all around Wetherbury to try and get their hands on the magical party bags that the Party Fairies have.
This story is suitable for the age 10 - 12 The party fairies have been busy preparing for the fairy King and Queen's 1000th jubilee. Jack frost sets out to steal each of the fairies' bags which hold key ingredients to the magical party. As same as the other rainbow magic books Kristy and rachel helped each fairies to get there bags.
I can’t believe some of the books from the series are hated so much .well I guess it’s their opinion but my opinion is that these books are just utterly amazing!
Natalie says: This is why: I just thought it was a terrific friendship story. So they are at camp and the goblins are stealing all the fairy's party bags and they can't make party fun without the bags. Another reason why I like it is because I like fairies and I think its really cool to experience the happy friendship between to girls at camp. In every book they meet a new fairy and they begin a lovely friendship that I think is happy.
Rachel and Kristy go to Explorer's Club together. That day, they are going to have a little party. First there is a relay race. At the end you have to get into an inflatable boat and paddle to the finish line. But, Rachel and Kristy's boats sink. There were thorns in it. Rachel and Kristy thought a goblin must have done it. After the relay race, they do an egg on a spoon race. Kristy's egg hatches into a chick! The chick runs over to a tree. Kristy follows it and at the bottom of the tree she also finds Polly the Party Fun Fairy. She notices that Polly doesn't have her magical party bag. Their Explorer teacher calls them because it's time for the Frisbee game. Someone throws it way over Rachel and she runs after it. It lands in a bush so Kristy comes over to help her look for it. Inside the bush, Polly is sitting on a branch looking for her bag. Then a goblin comes and takes the Frisbee. It was the goblin with the party bag. The goblin starts singing "a party bag for Jack Frost and a Frisbee for me!" Then, he floats away in the Frisbee. He uses a spoon as a paddle. Polly turns Rachel and Kristy into fairies so they can fly over to the goblin. Rachel goes to find a bucket and Kristy helps her carry it over to the goblin. It falls right over his head and Polly uses magic to make it stuck to his head. Then Polly takes her bag and sends the goblin and herself back to Fairy Land.
This is the fifth book of seven in the Rainbow Magic Party Fairies series by the group of authors who go by the pseudonym Daisy Meadows. While the stories are basically the same and follow a simple formula, they are entertaining for young girls who are starting to read chapter books and I love that our oldest is just ripping through them. We both read the books separately and talk about what happens. I'm not a huge fan of them, but each story only takes about 5-10 minutes to read. Our oldest is starting to read them very quickly, too, and she can read several of these stories in one day. I can hardly keep up with her!
In this book, Polly the party fun fairy is the main character and she loses her party bag and she does not know where it is. Kristy and Rachel, the other main characters are in a brownies camp, and when they have a break, they go to the bushes and look up the tree that Polly was sitting on and then they talked and then they started to look for the bag and it was with the goblin, and they had to chase the goblin in order to get the Polly's party bag. I gave this book a rating of 5 on 5 because at the end the main characters finally find Polly's bag and she gives them a suprise! Read this book to find out what the suprise was! Anisha
Rachel and Kirsty are having a fun time at a Brownies Camp. The girls are competing together with another team when everything goes wrong. This is why Polly the Party Fun Fairy's party bag is missing and a goblin is holding that one, so she came to Rachel and Kirsty and they are getting her party bag back. My favorite parts are those chicks hatching during the egg and spoon relay, and the pass the parcel game.
My 5 and 7-year old bored of it quickly, as fairies and goblins were promised but didn't come into play at all until 27 pages into this 65 page hardback. I could be wrong, but I doubt they'll ask to read any more in the series.
A fun series as a child, however I grew out of them very quickly, and don't look back on them as my cup of tea as a child either, I was just excited to be able to read independently! Nevertheless, they are great for young kids, and my Mum read them with me to help me learn how to read.
I think that polly the party fun fairy was a very exciting book and I also think that there was a lot of adventure in it. Irated it as 5 out of 5 because it is so good.
