Another fun read. Like Emily the Emerald Fairy, this book takes place in a setting that serves as a perfect backdrop for a confrontation with goblins - a costume store.
I especially liked how well-mannered the girls were in their interactions with the store owner!
I've noticed, though, that the goblins don't seem to have the same effect on their environment as they did in the Rainbow Fairies series. With the Rainbow Fairies, every time a goblin was nearby, the clouds covered the sun, the girls felt a chill in the air, and ice formed. In this Jewel Fairies series, the goblins don't have the same power. Maybe it's because the warmth of the jewels counteracts their iciness? Or maybe I just shouldn't think too much about consistency among the sub-series.

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.

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.
