I used to love reading these books. This was my first one and I love the cover :) I believe it was also my favorite.

I thought the goblin was very naughty and the girls were very clever!

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!

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 was the favourite of Miss 4's in the Party Fairy Series. Magical candy is pretty awesome!

Wonderfully imaginative, I liked the visual descriptions a lot, it was something that made me remember things I used to think about when I was little - something I kind of lost to the ethers of time.

[Kevin Hogg · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like how the pacing in the party fairy series is different from the Rainbow Magic books that I've read, and the visit to Fairyland is particularly fun, with some callbacks to earlier in the series. There are some good illustrations as well. This might be my favourite in the party fairy series.

I really liked this book because some of the candies changed faces and I thought they came alive!

[Elisa Hoopes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Warning: do NOT read this book if you are on a diet or if you don’t have sweets in the house, it is a recipe for disaster lol

Mrs. Twist, the candy shop owner, is going to retire so she's going to throw a party for all her customers with lots of free candy. The party is the day after the day that Rachel and Kristy are going over to the candy shop to get toffee. There they find goblin footprints that lead into the stock room. There was definitely goblin trouble because all the candy tasted sour. Rachel and Kristy told Mrs. Twist that they were going to the stock room to get better candy. In the stock room they find a goblin and Honey the Candy Fairy fighting over Honey's party bag. Rachel and Kristy find a bag of jawbreakers and throw them at the goblin. The goblin lets go of the party bag to cover his face but when he lets go, it makes the fairy dust spill out of the party bag. Honey takes Rachel and Kristy to Fairy Land to get more fairy dust and sweet fairy candy in Honey's workshop. When they get back, they get the goblin out of the candy shop and Rachel and Kristy take the fairy candy to Mrs. Twist. Before Honey leaves, she uses her new fairy dust to clean up the stock room because when she and the goblin were fighting it turned into a huge mess.

This is the fourth 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!

(My overall review for the rainbow magic series)

These books were so magical to me as a child. They really got me into reading and I was so addicted. They helped me learn the colours of the rainbow and entertained me for several years. The books aren't very good. I've tried reading them again because I was interested in what I saw in them. The books are very similar and repetitive but to child version of me, they were completely perfect!

The wrighting in Honey the Candy Fairy by Daisy Meadowws was beautiful. The streangths of this book is that two girls helped the fairy find her magic wand. The weaknessess of this book are that the goblens from jack frost endup fighting for the magic wand. I would recommend this book for a classmate becuause this book makes you want to keep reading the series. This book it is part of a series and I plan to read the other books in the series. I hope you would like to read this book.

This time Rachel and Kristy met honey the candy fairy. When all the candy in the candy shop goes bad they know it's the goblins who did it. They went to the fairy land and recoverd fairy dust for honey. Then from the magical trees they picked some candy. All the candies became better, and brought home the toffee candy that was requested.

I should probably let my kids review this, since it was their choice.
But...
I like that the kids like it. They want to read more in the series. I think it is easy enough for the first grader to read to me. :)

[Undomiel Books · Rating 2 out of 5]

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.

[Elsbeth Magilton · Rating 3 out of 5]

These are first chapter books Eleanor (first grade) wants us to read out loud to her - which thrills me as we embark on a new part of our bedtime routine with much longer books but admittedly these are… well they’re fine for what they are 🧚🏼‍♀️

[Mary Pimbblet · Rating 2 out of 5]

Thankfully the plot part of this is incredibly brief, I think the magical item is recovered after a couple of chapters. This leaves a lot of space for descriptions of sweets, including a Willy Wonka style garden, which is much more fun to read.
