Summary from Orchard
The Sporty Fairies are in need of Rachel and Kirsty's help. Everyone in
Fairyland is preparing for the Fairy Olympics, but Jack Frost and his
goblins have stolen the magic sporty items so they can win by cheating!
What's more, with the items missing, everyone in the human world is
playing sports really badly, and so the human Olympics is in danger of
being ruined too! Samantha the Swimming Fairy is desperate to get her
Magic Goggles backs from the goblins - can Rachel and Kirsty help?
Nayuleska's thoughts
This is a book I read for my own
research (see here for details). Aside from the wings still being see through
which makes the illustrations look a little odd with objects being in the
wings, and the black snd white hair for Sam on the front cover, I thoroughly
enjoyed it! I love how the gremlins are good at swimming because of Sam's magic
goggles - the synchronised swimming team made me laugh. Rachel and Kirsty come up
with good ideas on how to get the goggles back.The friends have great courage
and are perfect to help rescue the goggles for Sam in this 9/10 read.
You can find out more on the dedicated
website.
