Comment:
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)

Comment:
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.

Not Nearly As Good As the Rainbow Fairies - a review of "Evie The Mist Fairy"

Comment:
Our whole family THOROUGHLY enjoyed the Rainbow Fairy series, but none of us liked this book. In the first series, there was adventure, engaging writing, and cute and novel concepts. In this book there are only hackneyed clichés that weren't even novel to my five year old. The highlight of drama, for example, is joggers running around in the fog. And a good portion of the book consists of recalling past adventures instead of building towards a great ending. I can only conclude that this is what you do if you've got nothing else worth writing about.
Two Stars [D-] ::: Very inferior writing and plotting. If you've read and liked the Rainbow Fairy series, this is most likely going to disappoint.
The Accelerated Reading designation for this book is 4.0. This means that the language (vocabulary and grammar) of the book is suitable for an entering Fourth Graders.
Note on AR designation: The AR description is a general "guide" that rates books on a relative scale of difficulty. Children can certainly read at levels above or below their group range, so that this number should only be used as a aid to help choose books that are appropriate and not frustrating.

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.
