    Staff Review:
    This book is very exciting. It's full of wonderful things. The main characters are named Rachel, Kirsty, and Willow. My favorite characters are Rachel and Kirsty. This book is very creative and fun. The characters in this book are really imaginative. I know that Daisy Meadows would really believe in fairies. I love her fairy books and I'll keep on looking for the new books she might write!
