The book begins as Rachel Walker and her parents stand on the deck of a ferry headed for Rainspell Island, where the Walkers are spending a weeklong vacation. There are so many Rainbow Magic Fairy books, all written under the same made-up author's name, all with similar themes. It also appears that Ruby must be present in Fairyland for her magic to work, as red (among other colours) disappeared from Fairyland, even though she still had her wand with her when she was banished by Jack Frost.

At that moment, Ruby’s colour begins to fade from the effects of Jack Frost’s spell, which cannot be undone unless all the Rainbow Fairies are together. Snow-White and Rose-Red are two little girls living with their mother, a poor widow, in a small cottage by the woods. If you like Rainbow Magic, check out Daisy Meadows’ other series: Magic Animal Friends and Unicorn Magic! At Mermaid Cottage, where the Walkers are staying, Kirsty invites Rachel to explore the nearby beach, which turns into exploring the whole island once the girls see that the rainbow is still there and decide to follow it.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.

Daisy Meadows Rainbow Magic - Ruby the Red Fairy

Though the stories are all pretty similar, they're a fine introduction to fantasy adventures for young kids; there's always some kind of suspense or mild peril, but it's always resolved quickly and painlessly. The girls agree, and Ruby turns them into fairies for the first time to bring them to Fairyland, which is chilly and grey without the Rainbow Fairies there. The girl introduces herself as Kirsty Tate, and says she and her parents are vacationing on the island for a week, just like Rachel’s family. Despite the presence of one dwarf, this story is not related to the Brothers Grimm fairy tale " Snow White" that provided the basis for the 1937 Walt Disney animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. 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!In this first book in the series, Rachel and Kirsty meet Ruby the Red Fairy at the end of the rainbow.
