Rainbow Magic is a children's fiction brand originally created by Working Partners[1] and now owned by HIT Entertainment and best known for the children's books published by Orchard Books.[2] The books are ghostwritten by a number of authors under the collective pseudonym Daisy Meadows and illustrated by Georgie Ripper in some books and uncredited illustrators in the latest books. The series follows the lives of Kirsty Tate and Rachel Walker and their magical adventures with their fairy friends.

Rainbow Magic books by Daisy Meadows were the most-borrowed children's books at libraries in the United Kingdom, and the second-most borrowed books overall at those libraries, for 2010 and 2011.[3][4]

The Rainbow Magic books are issued by Scholastic Inc. in the USA. Some series and individual book titles vary in the Scholastic editions. There are also coloured Rainbow Magic books for younger readers, which are also published by Scholastic.

The books are usually six chapters long and are grouped in sets based on a theme, such as 'The Sporty Fairies' and 'The Jewel Fairies'.

Characters

Main characters

  • Rachel Walker - friendly, caring and creative. She sometimes feels sorry for Jack Frost because he doesn't have friends.
  • Kirsty Tate - kind and clever, as well as loyal, fun-loving and adventurous. She is light on her feet, quite fast and usually makes up the plans.
  • Jack Frost - rude, greedy and not very nice. He is the King of the Goblins and he always orders them to do things for him.
  • The goblins - they cause tons of mischief and trouble. They have hooked noses and green skin. They used to be small and tiny in the early books, but later on they were changed so they are the size of an average child.
  • Mr. Walker - Rachel Walker's father
  • Mrs. Walker - Rachel Walker's mother
  • Mr. Tate - Kirsty Tate's father
  • Mrs. Tate - Kirsty Tate's mother
  • Queen Titania - gentle and kind, wanting only the best for her subjects. She shows gratefulness towards the girls' help and acts as a mentor to the fairies.
  • King Oberon - noble and fair, usually the one dealing with Jack Frost in person. He seems to be the only person Jack is scared of.
  • Various fairies - friends of Rachel and Kirsty
  • Magical animals/pets
