Storm the Lightning Fairy is the first of The Weather Fairies series of the Rainbow Magic books. In this series, Jack Frost has stolen the magic feathers that help the weather fairies control the weather. Each book sees Rachel and Kirsty help a different weather fairy to recover her magic feather. In this book, Rachel and Kirsty must help Storm the Lightning Fairy find her magic feather. Will they be able to find it before the goblins create chaos?

The Rainbow Magic books are perfect for young girls to introduce them to chapter books. Each story is short (5-10 minutes) with plenty of illustrations. The stories are adventurous and full of magic with special powers and abilities. Although every book follows the same type of story line, the variety in fairies and obstacles is enough to keep young girls interested as they are introduced to a new fairy in each book, hence the titles of the books.

Ideal for: young children aged 5-8 years old, especially girls.

Note: These books are best if read in the correct order.

The Rainbow Magic books are split into different series: the first series is The Rainbow Fairies, the second is The Weather Fairies, then The Party Fairies etc. It is best to read through the series in chronological order as characters and objects reappear in later series that readers won't understand without having read the earlier series first.

Additionally, it is best to read the books in each series in the correct order too as events from previous books are mentioned in later books. However, this isn't crucial. To make sure the series makes sense overall, it would be best to make sure you read the first book first and the last book last. All the books in between could be read in any order.

These books were literally my childhood! I stand by my opinion that every girl (or boy!) should read these whilst they're growing up. Every childhood needs a bit of magic and adventure. I will definitely be passing on my Rainbow Magic books to my future children.

My 4 year old liked it and we will read more in the series. I thought it was pretty bad.

A fun series as a child, however I grew out of them very quickly, and don't look back on them as my cup of tea as a child either, I was just excited to be able to read independently! Nevertheless, they are great for young kids, and my Mum read them with me to help me learn how to read.
