My Recommended Age: Any age
Nothing like a family read-a-thon to get you to read a series that you have had in your house for three years and haven't ever read!
What a fun series for girls ready for Early Chapter Books, and the best part is that there are soooo many books. At first glance, I assumed that it was a typical "fairy-book" with girls upset over shoes and bent wings. However, it is an adventure series that actually has a plot. I was very impressed.
Rachel and Kirsty are two young girls vacationing with their family, when they come upon a fairy in distress. The evil Jack Frost has scattered the color fairies thereby removing the all the color from Fairyland. Fortunately, Rachel and Kirsty are ready to help find them.
This first series of books are all about Rachel and Kirsty helping the color fairies. Then the story continues with the weather fairies and their lost magical feathers. Once you finish those, you can move onto the party fairies, the jewel fairies, the flower fairies, the pet fairies, or the special fairies. Each set has 5-7 books in it, so hopefully your daughter will have plenty to read.
Although it is not necessary to go in order, I would recommend at least starting each set with the first book, as it sets up the story for the series. Also, they have such cute covers, most girls find will them on their own.
Happy Reading
