Review

Daisy Meadows is the James Patterson of Children's literature. She keeps churning out books that are not great literature, but that are wildly popular with her target audience. Here is yet another series under the Rainbow Magic umbrella. In this 6th title in the "Fairy Tale Fairies", Rachel and Kirsty must find the magic pea locket and return it to Aisha, the Princess and the Pea Fairy. This is a light, fluffy read for kids in 2nd through 4th grades. Daisy Meadows knows what kids like and she delivers. Great literature is important. But producing books that gets kids reading and enjoying it is just as, if not more, important. These books are well priced and fly off the shelves. Find it in your budget to get some for your library. It is worth it. These are also good transitional chapter books for children past the easy reader books, but not quite ready for more substantial chapter books.

Overall Book Score: good
