Review: As a parent, I am keen for my children to read quality fiction. Sadly, my daughter has more than once brought home a Rainbow Magic book instead of a story worth reading. Why a school library stocks this rubbish is beyond me. There seems to be these days a notion that if children read anything, anything at all, it should be encouraged. I don't share this opinion. I'd rather see my children play in the garden or build with Lego than read this drivel. "Summer the Holiday Fairy" is poorly written formula fiction at its worst. There is no plot to speak of, other than Jack Frost's arbitrary villainy which is defeated by Rachel, Kirsty and Summer in the most trite and implausible way. If Jack Frost could steal these magic shells once, what's stopping him from stealing them again? Why does he employ such stupid guards? How does Rosie the ice-cream vendor, having already incurred heavy losses, afford giving out free ice-creams to all and sundry for a whole day? Asking this kind of question was too much for "Daisy Meadows." The characters are not even cardboard cut-outs, because cardboard cut-outs have to be at least two-dimensional. Kirsty and Rachel, however, are just names that appear on the page. Neither of them have any discernible personality. It never matters who gasps at any given point, and they tend to speak in unison much of the time anyway. Thy gasp, nod and grin their way through the story in a manner that causes toothache to anyone who's ever read a decent piece of children's fiction. Needless to say they never experience any internal conflict or personal growth. The best thing that can be said about the prose is that it is functional: it manages to relate the pointless plot. Other than that, it is bland, repetitive and stilted. It pains me to think that there are adults who believe this kind of tosh is good enough for girls and that there are girls wasting their time on reading it. The authors and the publishers should be ashamed of themselves.
