Weather Fairies #5: Evie the Mist Fairy: A Rainbow Magic Book

This is the second series of "Rainbow Magic" fairy books written by Daisy Meadows, picking up where the seven-part Rainbow Fairies series left off. These books are innocent and engaging, focusing on two young girls, Kirsty and Rachel, who meet while on vacation with their parents, and are drawn into the magical world of the fairies, who are in conflict with the mischievous Jack Frost. The structure of this series is nearly identical to the first: the girls are given a quest in which they must help seven fairies (each with sparkles aplenty and cute, super-girly outfits and princess-y names such as Hayley, Heather, Iris, Amber and Iris... ) who have been bothered by Jack and his goblin helpers. In each book they complete one part of the quest and meet one new fairy. It is important to know going in that these books are interconnected -- each individual volume ties in with the others, so you will want to start with book #1, then go on to #2, etc. The plots are not very complicated, but they do make reference to each other, and the idea is to read them all together. The other thing to know is that these books are not very scary or troubling - there is action, but no violence and not much real danger (the goblins are easily beaten, and not very frightening) so if you are looking for longer narratives for young kids to read, but don't want anything disturbing, this series is good option. One criticism is that the books are pretty WASP-y, and while a couple of the fairies might be seen as Asian, basically the entire series takes place in an all-white, middle-class world, populated with thin, blonde girls and a few brunettes. Other than that, though, this is a good series for families looking for light, engaging, age-appropriate stories. (ReadThatAgain children's book reviews)

Daisy Meadows is a great author for little girls. This book is an adorable chapter book, with a very cute story. Arrived promptly. It is a great purchase!

The author of this book is Daisy Meadows. This is the plot: a feather gets lost and two girls need to find it. The characters' names are Rachel, Kristy and Evie. The setting is in the woods. The theme is little girls can always be trusted. My opinion of the book is that it is funny and enjoyable. It is one of the best books I've read. People who have a good sense of humor, people who enjoy fairy tales and people who think little girls can do a lot will enjoy this book. By Ioli

My 5 year old daughter and I love all of these Fairy books. Great read-aloud and future books for her to read herself. Through these series a wonderful fanciful world opens up to her imagination.

My daughter loves this series of books - the biggest problem we have is that she won't stop after one chapter. She's 5, so we're reading them to her now, but soon she'll be re-reading them herself. We started with book 1 of the Rainbow Fairies and are now on the Weather Fairies Series. I highly recommend them!
