Per my first grader and I: We think it was good. I liked that we finally get to meet Jack Frost. My first grader "liked the fairy because she has fairy dust and she wears purple. I am afraid of thunder so I thought that reading a story about a rain fairy would help me not be so afraid of the thunder." My first grader is awesome!!!!

Book Stats
Cover: ★★★★ (Although this is a pretty outfit and the colours match rain perfectly, it has a bit more of a Hawaiian/tropical vibe, and that's something I associate more with sunlight than with rain.)
Story: ★★★★★
Overall Rating: ★★★★.5 (rounded up)
Ghostwriter: Sue Bentley
Most Memorable Part(s): Meeting Jack Frost again, and this time his actually attacking the girls! OoO
Review:
As the final book of this series, of course we have to meet Jack Frost again and...yeah, of course that's the highlight part, especially seeing as he recognizes Rachel and Kirsty this time around, and boy oh boy does he get mad!
The story itself did involve the girls using some cleverness as well, and confirms what I've noticed over and over again: between the two girls, it's Kirsty who's the idea person, and also Kirsty whom I've noticed has greater faith in the magic of the fairies. Rachel herself is more cautious, and although I admit that she gets prettier wings than Kirsty (with pointed tips instead of round ones), I maintain that I prefer Kirsty more.
That being said, time to rank the Weather Fairy books in order:

Title: Hayley the Rain Fairy
Author: Daisy Meadows
Series or Standalone: The Weather Fairies Series #7
Rating: Five Stars *****
Review:
Hayley the Rain Fairy is the seventh book in the weather fairies series and is a series geared toward young readers taking their first foray into the world of chapter books.
This story was read by me first because I have a daughter in the targeted demographic who is reading these stories by choice and enjoys them and I wanted the chance to enjoy them with her, but also because as a writer, one at the moment purely based in the young adult realm (older teenagers but same idea) and as a mom, enjoys writing and reading books that one day her own children will be able to pick up and read, I wanted to see what all her fuss was about.
I loved this little book. I’m aware that it’s part of a series, but I also got the standalone vibe from it and found the idea of fairies and also the friendship and adventures that the human girls Rachel and Kirsty go on to be entertaining and perfect for a little girl who might want to get lost in a make believe world for a while. It’s the perfect series for my daughter to feed her love of reading and imagination with and I’m so glad I took the chance and stole her library books out of her bag, because I loved it too.
It’s got friendship, fun, adventure and even a big baddie that they’ve gotta get past in order for everything to turn out all right in the end. Fantastic read!

This is the last of seven books in the "Weather Fairies" series by the group of authors who go by the name Daisy Meadows. It's a fun series, especially for young girls who are starting to read chapter books. Our oldest is addicted and I am encouraging it since I am confident that these books will help her develop a love for reading! She reads them on her own and will sometimes read aloud to me. I have been reading them along with her (at first I was irritated by them, but now they amuse me and they only take about 5 minutes to read). We will discuss the plots, her favorite parts and what we think will happen later in the series. Since this is the last book of the series, we enjoy talking about how it all ends, usually with a nice pat ending and a gift for Kirsty and Rachel.

This was the last book in the weather fairies series. I read the whole series and enjoyed all of the books a lot. My favourite book in this series was probably either pearl the cloud fairy or storm the lightning fairy.

When I was younger, I really enjoyed these books. This one was my favorite.

Daisy Meadows and her fairies are my childhood. I collected so many in my youth, knowing all the fairies and their importance, and sticking with the two special girls who go to be a part of the magic.
Years ago I had to give my beautiful collection away, now still part of my childhood school where little girls are picking their favourite fairies and playing pretend. It's fun to hear stories from my old teachers telling me how over the years so many students have grabbed these books and fallen in love with the tales of two girls, Jack Frost and the fabulous glittering magic that is the fairies.
On Christmas last year, my sister surprised me with a boxset of these books, but cause you cannot collect these darlings as easily anymore. I was over the moon!
If anyone has a little one who needs a little magic in their life, wants to read and needs a big creation to be hooked on...it is Daisy Meadows!

Second set in the fairy books. This is in the following school holidays. Rachel comes to stay with Kirsty in the village of Wetherbury. Jack Frost's goblins have stolen the tail weathers from Fairyland's weather-vane rooster and making weather chaos in Fairyland and the village. Miss 4 was very excited waiting for Doodle to speak again!
Miss 4 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

Some positives and some negatives. The goblin was great. I really enjoyed him--a return to silly and incompetent. The dialog and the pictures really added to this. While the plot was formulaic (the girls find the goblin conveniently close by, try to reason with him, then trick him), it came together quite well and was a highlight of the series. I thought the ending was rushed, though. After getting the feather, I expected more in the culmination of the series, and it was over too soon. Still, a fun series, and the addition of Doodle and the gradual warning made it stand out.

Em relação às outras histórias das fadas do tempo, esta foi a que achei mais aborrecida.
Para além disso, notei o uso repetido de palavras derivadas do verbo "principiar", quando sinónimos poderiam ter sido utilizados.
Por último, algo que me deixou confusa: nests história as duas amigas conseguem comunicar com galinhas, mas numa das histórias anteriores, não conseguiam comunicar com um cão... Então, o que galinhas têm de especial? E porque elas falam mas um cão não?

I think this book finally broke my six year old’s obsession with the Rainbow Fairies series. She was happy that the weather fairies were all saved, but was disappointed by Jack Frost after seven books building up his appearance. She’s actually asked to read something different next, which I’m very happy about.

It was sad that the weather fairy adventures have come to an end, though, knowing their are more books to go in the series makes the excitement continue.
