About the Author

Where do you get your ideas from? When daydreaming is your favourite hobby, you find that ideas are always popping intoyour head. The trick is to jot them down before they pop out of your head again! I also get a lot of good suggestions for new fairies sent in by my readers, and sometimes if they're very good I use them as the basis for a new series. What is your favourite colour? Bright red, the colour of courage and energy! Red is also the colour of Ruby in the Rainbow Fairies. Which Rainbow Magic book is your favourite? There are so many fab fairies, it's impossible to choose! But I have a soft spot for Summer the Holiday Fairy, because summer is my favourite time of year! Are Rachel and Kirsty based on real people? Yes. They're based on my best friends. Rachel and Kirsty are just like them: kind-hearted, adventurous, fun-loving and friendly. Where is Rainspell Island? Rainspell Island isn't a real place. It's based on a little island off the south coast of England that I used to visit when I was a little girl. Which Rainbow Magic Fairy would you like to be and why? Danielle the Daisy Fairy. Daisies are my favourite flower, and Danielle is the good-hearted girl-next-door whom everybody loves. What makes you happy? Sitting in the garden in the sunshine listening to the birds singing! Writing also makes me very happy, and reading the lovely letters from my readers. If you could have one wish come true what would it be? I've always wanted to be able to fly and have wonderful adventures just like Rachel and Kirsty have with all the Rainbow Magic fairies. What is your favourite animal and do you have any pets? I adore all animals so it would be really hard for me to pick a favourite! I have two dogs and three cats and love them all equally. What is your favourite food? --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fairy Fun, January 11, 2012

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Fun Day Fairies #4: Thea the Thursday Fairy: A Rainbow Magic Book (Mass Market Paperback)

Thea, the Thursday Fairy was a really good book. I recommend it for people who like fairies. At one point in the book, the fairies ride a turtle out of the aquarium tank. I found that to be very cool. I would like to do that. The illustrations helped me imagine the story. This book is just one of a series called Rainbow Magic. If you like fairy books, read Rainbow Magic!

This review is from: Fun Day Fairies #4: Thea the Thursday Fairy: A Rainbow Magic Book (Mass Market Paperback)

I bought this book as part of the Fun Day Fairy books for my 6 year old daughter for Christmas. When we got to page 40, it stopped being Thea the Thursday fairy and became Sienna the Saturday fairy! Clearly there was a printing error at Scholastic and two sections of different books got glued together. BUT when I called Scholastic to get it replaced, they gave me the run-around and wouldn't send me a new one. Really lousy service from a company that must rely on the good will of teachers and parents for their business.

This review is from: Fun Day Fairies #4: Thea the Thursday Fairy: A Rainbow Magic Book (Mass Market Paperback)

Thea is about the 15th fairy book my 6 year old has devoured. She LOVES them...to the point where she is looking forward to a day out of school so she can read more. She even puts on the headlamp and reads them in bed at night! I have had the chance to read many chapters to her as well, and the setup is very common across all the books. Kirstie and Rachel are friends who help the fairies. The fairies are inevitably in need of help because they have been cast out of Fairyland by magic or trickery from the evil Jack Frost and his goblins. While my daughter finds many things scary, such as most Disney films, she does not find Jack Frost or the goblins scary. They are written up in a way that helps her laugh at them and their petty ways. Good family values, and who's not to love a book series that helps their child develop a love of reading?
