Review

Rachel and Kirsty have found four of the magical fairy tale items to their rightful fairy tale fairy owners. They only have three more items to go. In this installment Gwen, the Beauty and the Beast fairy has had her magic rose pin stolen. And Jack Frost will not give it up that easily. If the girls can't get the pin back Beauty and the Beast will never make it back into their story. This is a fun story that is written well and easy for its target audience. The target audience is girls (and boys) in grades 2-4 and anyone who likes fairy stories. Its a quick fun read for kids. Give this to fans of Daisy Meadows, to reluctant readers and to readers not quite ready for Gail Carson Levine. This is a worthwhile purchase for libraries in need of easier chapter books and those in need of fairy stories.

Overall Book Score: good
