Recommended grades 4-5. Daisy Meadows brings us another Rainbow Magic story with
Destiny the Rockstar Fairy (Scholastic, 2011)
. The five authors who write under the pen name Daisy Meadows have written over one hundred books featuring best friends Rachel and Kirsty and their fairy pals. In the series, Kirsty and Rachel team up with the a variety of fairies from the kingdom of Fairyland to defeat the evil Jack Frost and his mischievous goblin henchmen. In this installment, Frost has stolen Destiny's magical objects that she uses to protect all of the rockstars in the world. Rachel and Kirsty must help her recover the items before their favorite band takes the stage for a special Christmas performance! Lovers of the series will appreciate the similar plot, the attention to details when it comes to the girls' fashion accessories, and the length--
Destiny the Rockstar Fairy is a special edition volume four times the length of the average fairy book. The text is accompanied by ink sketches of the scenes that contribute to the goblin's comedic mayhem. Though adults may not always understand the appeal, there seems to be a very soft spot in young readers' bookshelves. The text is familiar enough to build young readers' confidence. As the most one of the
most borrowed books of 2010, it is sure to see a great deal of circulation.
Recommended, ***.
