I put these in goodie bags for my daughter Lucie's birthday part and they were a huge hit! We love all of the fairies (rainbow, gem, weather, etc). Yeah for Rachel and Kirsty and all of their adventures.

This slight chapter book is a nice finale to the Jewel Fairies series, but it doesn't stand on its own. It keeps referring back to the previous adventures of `tweens Rachel and Kirsty, who in earlier books (see below) have recovered jewels from a queen's crown. The seven books should be read in order for the story to make the most sense.

This time around, the Queen's magic diamond has been hidden in the sky with all the stars. The culprit? Series bad guy Jack Frost, who hurls bolts of ice at the girls to try and stop them. With a lot of help from Lucy the Diamond Fairy and the winged horse Pegasus, Rachel and Kirsty grab the jewel from the sky and save the day.

The series makes for an easy introduction to chapter books for young girls, but a laziness in the writing keeps it from, well, shining. The same words and phrases are used multiple times. For example, in this book Frost lets out a "roar of rage" more than once.

Every page is illustrated with expressive line drawings.

Here are the other books in the series:
Sophie The Sapphire Fairy
Emily The Emerald Fairy
Amy The Amethyst Fairy
Chloe The Topaz Fairy
India The Moonstone Fairy
Scarlett The Garnet Fairy
