Georgia the Guinea Pig Fairy (Rainbow Magic, #148; The Pet Keeper Fairies, #3)

I really enjoyed this book for several reasons. This story is part of a modern fantasy series that involves fairies, magical animals, and two young girls willing to help the fairies. The language is very descriptive and incorporates many sensory details. For example, the character Kirsty exclaims,

“Rachel, look! She cried excitedly, scrambling back down to the ground.” The reader can picture this action in their head due to the vivid details. Another example of descriptive language is when the book states, “Rachel fluttered her shimmering wings, feeling light as she floated off the ground.” The writing is arranged into paragraphs and chapters. Print that is larger than typical chapter books are used, which makes this a great transitional book for emerging readers. I also really enjoyed the use of dialogue incorporated in the story because it makes the events seem more real. The illustrations are colorless sketches that are extremely detailed. There is an illustration on each page to break up the wording. The characters Rachel, Kirsty, and Georgia the fairy are well developed because they work together to save the animals and each other. Rachel and Kirsty must return the magical pets to their pet fairy owners because Jack Frost kidnapped the pets. There is a great deal of suspense in the plot, especially when Kirsty had to capture one of Jack Frost’s goblins that stole the guinea pig. The book reads, “The girls held their breath as the lasso sailed through the air,” which evokes feelings of suspense. Fortunately, the retrieved the guinea pig and returned it home safely. The events are fictional but the message is relatable. The big ideas of the story are good triumphs evil and working together to help others will save the day.
