This is the latest addition to the number one bestselling
girls' series, Rainbow Magic. Over 26 million copies have
sold worldwide. In each story, Kirsty Tate and Rachel Walker have an adventure
which features a particular fairy. The bright covers are very attractive, and
the stories will appeal to girls in the six to 10 years range.
Jessie the Lyrics Fairy is the first book in the Pop
Star Fairy series.
When
Kirsty and Rachel arrive at the Rainspell Island Music Festival, they meet up
with their pop group friends, The Angels who are the opening act. Later, while
helping Rachel's parents set up the tent in the camping area, the pair suddenly
spot Destiny the Pop Star Fairy, whose magic ensures that pop concerts go
perfectly.
The
Fairyland Music Festival coincides with the human pop festival, and Destiny
invites the girls to attend. Delighted to accept, the girls are covered in magic
dust from Destiny's wand and become fairies. In Fairyland, they meet the other
Pop Star Fairies - Jessie the Lyrics Fairy, Adele the Singing Coach Fairy,
Vanessa the Dance Steps Fairy, Miley the Stylist Fairy, Frankie the Make-up
Fairy, Rochelle the Star Spotter Fairy and Una the Concert Fairy. However, the
fairies seem worried and distracted, and when the rehearsal begins, the Pop Star
Fairies perform badly and can't keep in step or in tune.
Kirsty
and Rachel ask Destiny what is wrong and she tells them that the magic music
clefs the fairies wear around their necks to ensure their performances go well
are missing.
The
clefs have been stolen by Jack Frost and his goblins. Jack Frost is planning to
be the biggest star at the Rainspell Festival. Returning to Rainspell Island,
the girls attend The Angels' rehearsal. The pop group are not performing well,
either. It is up to the girls to get back the clefs so that both festivals are a
success.
Will
Kirsty and Rachel be able to retrieve each fairy's musical
clef?
Written in an easy-to-read style supported by black and white drawings,
Jessie the Lyrics Fairy with its pop festival background is sure to be a
hit. Another six books complete the Pop Star Fairies series which is good news
for fans.
