I wanted to write a note to everyone about the Rainbow Magic book series. If you have young children, chances are you have heard of these books. They have become incredibly popular in recent years, captivating the imaginations of children all over the world. The Rainbow Magic books are a series written by Daisy Meadows, a pseudonym used by a group of authors who work together to create these magical tales. The series follows the adventures of two best friends named Rachel and Kirsty, who discover a magical world full of fairies. Each book in the series focuses on a different fairy, and there are over 200 books to date.
Parents need to know that the Rainbow Magic series is made up of several smaller sets of seven adventures, for a total of more than 200 individual books. Each story follows best friends Kirsty Tate and Rachel Walker as they help their fairy friends resolve a problem involving bad guy Jack Frost and his goblin minions…
Each story follows best friends Kirsty Tate and Rachel Walker as they help their fairy friends resolve a problem involving bad guy Jack Frost and his goblin minions. In each set of seven books in the series, the two girls meet a new group of seven fairies, all of whom have something in common rainbow magic, weather magic, party magic, flower magic, and so on and all of whom are somehow at risk of losing their magic because of a plot by the mean Jack Frost, who s usually motivated by a feeling such as jealousy or greed.
Each book in the series focuses on a different fairy, and there are over 200 books to date. Each fairy represents a different color of the rainbow and has unique magical powers. For example, there is a fairy for red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
Rainbow Magic Series
Our child who just turned 6 can’t get enough of these books. When we bring a new one hike from the library, it’s like we are presenting him with an ice cream sundae. There is gasping and jumping up and down. I can’t say that I quite understand the appeal. He is very interested in fairies and magic, so the subject matter is certainly right up his alley and he reads them easily enough. There is very distinct good vs bad which I appreciate.

There are so many Rainbow Magic Fairy books, all written under the same made-up author's name, all with similar themes. They seem to all go about like this: two friends are doing some typical childish activities like camping, celebrating a holiday, etc when some bad fairy messes things up, so the title good fairy joins up with the girls to save the day. Every one I've read was benign at worst, and had positive messages of helping others at best. I find the writing to be pretty awful, but for the girl who's just ready for chapter books, the series offers a lot to like. I don't recommend these as a family read-aloud. Save them for when your child wants to read alone. The stories don't have great writing, so saying it aloud doesn't enhance a thing. The characters are entirely indistinguishable, so reading their dialogue aloud just gets muddled, but it's good practice for a beginning reader to follow. The crisis the characters have to solve is so predictable (for a grown-up) that I just wanted to be done, but my kids find it to be actually compelling. Unlike some other early chapty books which I will read aloud (notably the A to Z mysteries), Rainbow Magic books just aren't any fun for adults. My kids, however? They can't get enough! My eager advanced reader started on them in kindergarten. She checked out one every single week at the school library and still wants more. She gets through 3 to 4 of the series every week now (summer after kindergarten) still loves them. She can summarize the plots, as thin as I find them, and loves to imagine herself in the fairy world. Her twin sister is a beginner but she, too, loves the fairy books. She can't manage the chapter books yet but loves the few versions in the easy reader category. The books seem pretty bland, but I'll take that! Nothing controversial (that I've seen, at least), nothing too scary- but lots of friendship, a little problem solving, and a whole lot of great practice at reading!
Children are drawn to these books because they are filled with fun and adventure. The stories involve fairy magic, friendship, and problem-solving. They also often incorporate themes of bravery, kindness, and perseverance. The characters face challenges and obstacles but always find a way to overcome them with the help of their fairy friends. The Rainbow Magic books are not only entertaining but also educational. They help children develop their reading skills and vocabulary while engaging with imaginative storylines. The books are written with simple language and short chapters, making them accessible to young readers. If you have a child who loves magic and fairies, I highly recommend checking out the Rainbow Magic book series. They provide hours of entertainment and can spark a love of reading in children. The books are widely available and easy to find both online and in bookstores. So, if you are looking for a magical and enchanting book series for your child, look no further than Rainbow Magic. It is sure to capture their imagination and transport them to a world of fairies and adventure. Happy reading!.
Reviews for "Rainbow Magic Books: Captivating Young Minds"
1. Maria - 2/5
I recently read the Rainbow Magic book series, and I must say I was rather disappointed. The writing style was simplistic and lacked depth, making it difficult to immerse myself in the story. Additionally, the characters felt one-dimensional and lacked development. The plot was predictable, and I found myself losing interest halfway through the first book. Overall, I feel like these books are more suited for younger readers who enjoy simple and formulaic stories.
2. John - 1/5
I don't understand the hype surrounding the Rainbow Magic books. I gave it a shot, but it just wasn't for me. The storyline was incredibly repetitive, with a similar formula being followed in each book. The characters were forgettable and lacked any real substance. It felt like a money-making scheme rather than a well-crafted series. I wouldn't recommend these books to anyone looking for a captivating and engaging read.
3. Sarah - 2/5
I found the Rainbow Magic books to be extremely boring and unoriginal. The plotlines were predictable, and the writing style felt amateurish. The characters, especially the fairies, lacked any real personality and felt like carbon copies of each other. I struggled to finish the first book, and there was simply no desire to continue with the series. If you're looking for a unique and captivating fantasy series, I would suggest looking elsewhere.
4. James - 3/5
I didn't dislike the Rainbow Magic books, but I definitely didn't love them either. The stories were decent enough for a light read, but they lacked depth and complexity. As an adult reader, I found myself looking for more substance and character development, which was lacking in this series. These books might be more enjoyable for children who are just starting to develop an interest in reading, but they didn't capture my attention as an adult reader.
5. Emma - 2/5
I had high hopes for the Rainbow Magic books, but unfortunately, they fell short of my expectations. The writing style was too simple, and it felt like the stories were written without much effort. The repetitive nature of the plotlines quickly became tiresome, and I found myself losing interest after a few books. The lack of character development made it difficult to connect with the story. Ultimately, I was disappointed with this series and don't plan on continuing with it.
