4.0 out of 5 stars same book as Summer the Holiday Fairy, May 3, 2007

These are great books for little girls, but I thought people should know that this is the exact same book as Summer the Holiday fairy. They use "Americanized" English in this book, but everything else is exactly the same. I thought I would let people know, so you won't buy this book if you already have the other one as I did. The publishers should have left the fairy's name the same, because this is a bit misleading if you ask me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Oh Joy, a new Rainbow Magic book, June 29, 2007

Warning to parents: the whole Rainbow Magic premise grows thin after awhile, certainly if you've read the 7 color fairy books, the 7 weather fairy books, and now Joy the Summer Vacation Fairy. It's a familar Rainbow Magic plot; Jack Frost has stolen three magic shells; two human girls who are friends with the fairies have to help Joy get them back so their favorite summer vacation place gets its magic back. Instead of a series of 7 related books though this is one long "super book", subdivided into three short stories. All about Joy though. If you've read the other Rainbow Magic books this will make sense.

Bottom line, cute books for the 6-10 age range. Girls just getting into chapter books will love them and more proficient readers will enjoy them as well. They are fluffy stuff. Rather boring to parents, but we aren't the target audience. Light action, adventure, fantasy for kids. My daughters just love it.

This book was a great transition to Chapter Books for my daughter entering first grade. She loves the Junie B. Jones books, but as a parent, I did not like the language or the antics of Junie B. It was refreshing to read a light-hearted book full of age appropriate adventure and mystery.
