Idk why Melodie wasn’t looking out for goblins. We know they’re out here ruining parties. I also could have sworn Kirsty’s name was Kristy and now I’m feeling like a crazy person. I love that in this series there is just gonna be a party literally every day of the week.

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.

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.

When a key plot point in a book is fairy getting trapped inside a piano, then realising magical so she can just open it to get out, you realise just how bad these books are.
This seemed a particularly bad example of a Rainbow Fairy books. My six year old is determined to finish the Party Fairy series though, even though she knows everything will be fine.

[Kevin Hogg · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a good book that continued the series well. I'm enjoying how this series switches up the order of events and introduces the goblins later in the book, but I felt this one was a bit too simple compared to some of the other solutions the girls need to come up with. Some funny moments, but a bit of a slow spot in the Party Fairies series.

[Rhyme Owens · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked this book because it was very weird because when the teachers tried to switch the music it stayed on the same song, and sometimes that happens to me as well. Maybe I have a goblin in my Google Home.

[Nethra Saravanan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed reading this book as Kirsty and Rachel helped their beloved friend Melodie-The music fairy. Melodie is very happy and returns to Fairy Land after helping the people with the music for the party. This story is magical and also shows the friendship between the girls and Melodie!!!

[Sean Harding · Rating 3 out of 5]

Finally a name that befits the occupation - well done Meadows Inc
If you decide to do another one Harmony springs to mind
Maybe Harmony is Melodie's sister
Although I think that was the name of Psalty thee singing songbook's daughters?
Anyway I digress - more of the same here move along

Amazing storytelling, character development, and plot. Absolutely 0 plot holes, wild and thrilling with twists around the corner you’d never expect. So immersive it would be a dishonor for giving this anything lower than a 5 star (Plus points for nostalgia’s sake).

Melodie the Music Fairy is the second of The Party Fairies series of the Rainbow Magic books. In this series, Jack Frost is desperate to get the magic bags from the party fairies so he can throw himself the best party ever. But in the process he is ruining human parties while the party fairies are trying to plan for the King and Queen's jubilee! In this book, Rachel and Kirsty must held Melodie the Music Fairy to make sure Jack Frost doesn't get her magic bag.

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.

Note: These books are best if read in the correct order.

The Rainbow Magic books are split into different series: the first series is The Rainbow Fairies, the second is The Weather Fairies, then The Party Fairies etc. It is best to read through the series in chronological order as characters and objects reappear in later series that readers won't understand without having read the earlier series first.

Additionally, it is best to read the books in each series in the correct order too as events from previous books are mentioned in later books. However, this isn't crucial. To make sure the series makes sense overall, it would be best to make sure you read the first book first and the last book last. All the books in between could be read in any order.

It's the first anniversary of the school, so Kristy is going to do a ballet recital with her ballet class. A goblin messes up the music radio so Melody tries to fix it. The goblin tries to steal her party bag and he gets it. Rachel and Kristy find Melody and then try to find the goblin. They find the goblin inside of a piano. Rachel has a plan. So, Melody has to turn her into a fairy. When Rachel gives Kristy a wink, she opens the piano lid and Rachel and Melody pick up cymbals and smash them together right in front of the goblin. The goblin is scared and he shakes like crazy, dropping the party bag. Kristy grabs the party bag and gives it to Melody. Melody uses her wand to send the goblin back to the ice castle. Then Melody uses more fairy magic to fix the radio and Kristy can do the ballet recital.

This is the second 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!

Just as cute as the other ones, I ❤️ THIS SERIES

[Louise · Rating 2 out of 5]

Formulaic fairy fiction that is insanely popular with 6-9 year old girls. Daisy Meadows is a pseudonym for a group of writers, this one appears to have been written by Marilyn Kaye. In this book, Kirsty is preparing to perform at the one year anniversary party for her ballet school. Jack Frost's goblins are up to no good, out to upset all the human parties, and this one is no exception, with a naughty goblin there to speed up the music. What we need is a fairy to set things right with a sprinkling of fairy dust.

(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!

Melodie the music fairy has lost her magic object that controles music. She lost it because the goblins stole it.

I love this book to much! This is the best best best book that I've read in my whole life.

If you want to know how they got it back from the goblin you'll just have to read the book.

[Tara Strosnider · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really liked it because it had faries in it and i used to really love reading some of these when i was younger. I liked how it has a really cute storyline about rachel and kirsty best friends who are never apart.

[Colleen Mertens · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another book recommended to me by my daugther, this story follows Kristy & Rachel to a music festival on an island. They meet up with another fairy friend and adventure with her to stop Jack Frost and his goblins. Good story for beginning readers.

[Sophia · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book, mostly because it was just a little more different to any other Rainbow Magic book. I liked the story line and the dialogue was actually really good. I hope that the books continue to be just as good.

[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.
