Ken took Isabelle to the library today, and she was thrilled to discover that the Rainbow Fairies are only one small part of the Rainbow Magic franchise. :P While waiting for the next Rainbow Fairy book to become available at our library, Isabelle managed to find this book, the first book of the Jewel Fairies series.
So apparently, there is an order in which you're supposed to read the series of series. In this book, Rachel and Kirsty have magic lockets that were given to them after they helped the Weather Fairies in a previous adventure.
This time, the icy Jack Frost has stolen Queen Titania's seven magic jewels and scattered them in the human world. Kirsty happens to be visiting Rachel for exactly one week, and presumably they will find one jewel per day per book.
Just as in Ruby the Red Fairy, the girls are told that they must let the magic come to them. I am probably over-thinking this, but it occurs to me that this aspect of the series could serve as a little reminder that you can't go around looking for good things to happen; good things will happen to you when you are mentally in a place to recognize good things when they come along.
To make things a little harder for Rachel and Kirsty, Jack Frost's goblins are guarding the jewels. The goblins can't actually touch the jewels, but they serve as obstacles for the girls to overcome. Queen Titania tells the girls that they will need to outwit the goblins. I'll have to see how the rest of the series unfolds, but I'm hoping that perhaps the girls will be doing some clever thinking in the books ahead. At least in this book, when India the Moonstone Fairy's magic is not sufficient to thwart the goblins, Kirsty does some quick thinking and comes up with a way to complete India's original plan.
