Review

Cinderella has lost her slipper again. Number 3 in the Fairy Tale Fairies has Rachel and Kirsty still trying to restore order to the world of the fairy tale fairies. Jack Frost has stolen the fairies magical items. And in order to set things right Rachel and Kirsty must find the items and return them to their rightful fairy tale fairy owners. Here Faith the Cinderella Fairy has had her magic glass slipper stolen. The ball will be a disaster if the girls don't find the slipper. This is written to appeal to girls (and some boys) in grades 2-4. And it hits the mark perfectly for the target audience. It is a fun, quick read full of all the froth and frills of a fairy tale land. Give to fans of the other Rainbow Fairy books and to the younger set not quite ready for Gail Carson Levine. A worthwhile series to purchase for many libraries. It's what kids want and it gets them reading. And they are decently priced. The only problem is most libraries don't have the shelf space for all of Daisy Meadows' fairy books.

Overall Book Score: good
