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!

Schweizer Fußballnationalmannschaft: Auf dem Weg zu neuen Höhen
Die Schweiz, ein Land, das für seine atemberaubenden Landschaften, Präzisionstechnik und sein reiches kulturelles Erbe bekannt ist, ist auch die Heimat einer dynamischen und erfolgreichen Fußballnationalmannschaft. Die Schweizer Fußballnationalmannschaft, liebevoll „Die Nati“ genannt, hat in den letzten Jahren bedeutende Fortschritte im internationalen Fußball gemacht. Lassen Sie uns die Geschichte, Erfolge, Schlüsselspieler und seine vielversprechende Zukunft des Teams auf der Weltbühne erkunden. Lesen Sie hier unseren Artikel über die Schweizer Fußballstadien
Historischer Zusammenhang:
Die Geschichte der Schweizer Fußballnationalmannschaft reicht bis zu ihrer Gründung im Jahr 1895 zurück. Die Schweiz nimmt regelmäßig an Turnieren der FIFA-Weltmeisterschaft und der UEFA-Europameisterschaft teil. Im Laufe der Jahre hat die Mannschaft Phasen des Wandels durchlaufen, wobei jede Generation von Spielern zum Fußballerbe des Landes beigetragen hat.
Wichtigsten Erfolge:
Auch wenn die Schweiz bisher noch keine FIFA-Weltmeisterschaft oder UEFA-Europameisterschaft gewonnen hat, kann sie dennoch eine ganze Reihe bemerkenswerter Erfolge vorweisen. Der Weg des Teams im internationalen Wettbewerb war von bemerkenswerten Momenten geprägt, darunter der Sieg bei der ersten FIFA-Weltmeisterschaft 1930 in Uruguay. Auch bei nachfolgenden Weltcup-Turnieren erreichten sie das Viertelfinale und stellten damit ihre Fähigkeit unter Beweis, auf höchstem Niveau mithalten zu können.
Bei der UEFA-Europameisterschaft hat sich die Schweiz stets für die K.-o.-Runde des Turniers qualifiziert und damit ihre Qualität im europäischen Fußball unter Beweis gestellt. Ihre Leistung bei der Euro 2020, bei der sie das Viertelfinale erreichten, erregte die Fantasie der Fans und zeigte ihr Potenzial, sich mit den Besten des Kontinents zu messen.
Schlüsselfiguren:
Die Schweizer Nationalmannschaft hat eine Mischung aus erfahrenen Veteranen und aufstrebenden Talenten gesehen, die zu ihrem jüngsten Erfolg beigetragen hat. Zu den Schlüsselspielern, die einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die Leistung des Teams hatten, gehören:
Granit Xhaka: Mannschaftskapitän und Meister im Mittelfeld. Xhakas Führungsqualitäten und Spielmacherfähigkeiten sind für den Spielstil der Schweiz von zentraler Bedeutung.
Xherdan Shaqiri: Shaqiri ist für sein Flair und seine Kreativität bekannt und hat bei großen internationalen Turnieren und im Vereinsfußball für entscheidende Momente gesorgt.
Ricardo Rodríguez: Rodríguez ist ein zuverlässiger Linksverteidiger mit Fähigkeiten in der Verteidigung und im Angriff und eine Schlüsselfigur im Kader.
Haris Seferovic: Als wichtigster Torschütze des Teams waren Seferovics gekonnter Abschluss und seine Fähigkeit, das Tor zu treffen, entscheidend für den Erfolg der Schweiz.
Manuel Akanji: Akanji ist ein aufstrebender Star in der Verteidigung. Seine Gelassenheit und seine defensiven Fähigkeiten machen ihn zu einem Schlüsselspieler für die Verteidigungslinie des Teams.
Teamdynamik:
Der Erfolg der Schweiz auf der internationalen Bühne ist auf ihre Geschlossenheit und Teamarbeit zurückzuführen. Die Spieler demonstrieren ein bemerkenswertes Verständnis des Feldes und verbinden nahtlos individuelle Brillanz mit kollektiver Leistung. Ihre disziplinierte Herangehensweise und ihr taktisches Geschick machen sie zu einem beeindruckenden Gegner, der es mit den besten Teams der Welt aufnehmen kann.
Fanunterstützung:
Die Schweizer Nationalmannschaft genießt leidenschaftliche Unterstützung von Fans im ganzen Land. Die roten Trikots sind zum Symbol des Nationalstolzes geworden und die Verbundenheit zwischen der Mannschaft und ihren Fans ist ein Beweis für die verbindende Kraft des Sports in der Schweiz.
Freuen:
Während die Schweiz im internationalen Fußball weiter aufsteigt, sieht die Zukunft vielversprechend aus. Dank der Mischung aus erfahrenen Spielern und aufstrebenden Talenten ist das Team für größere Erfolge bei kommenden Turnieren gerüstet. Die Schweizer Fußballnationalmannschaft ist eine Inspiration für aufstrebende Spieler und eine Quelle des Stolzes für Fans auf der ganzen Welt. Während sie sich auf den Weg zu neuen Höhen machen, freuen sich Fußballbegeisterte auf die spannenden Kapitel, die in der glorreichen Geschichte der Nati noch geschrieben werden.

The Sporty Fairies (U.S name: Sports Fairies) are the 9th series. The Sporty Fairies are responsible for making sure that everyone in fairy land and the human world have fun playing sports. They each have a magic item (related to their sport) and when the goblins steal them this makes sports more difficult for everyone. Not good when the Fairyland Olympics are due to start and kids everywhere are on school holidays.
There are seven Sporty fairies and they are: Helena the Horseriding Fairy, Francesca the Football Fairy, Zoe the Skating Fairy, Naomi the Netball Fairy, Samantha the Swimming Fairy, Alice the Tennis Fairy and Gemma the Gymnastics Fairy.
Action takes place around Tippington Town with Kirsty staying with Rachel.

I could see how young readers would enjoy this series. The formula repeats in each book as Rachel and the other characters seek to defeat the goblins by returning a stolen item to its fairy owner. Still, this has nothing to do with the sport of soccer. The setting is a soccer stadium (where there will be a match, but the match is not seen in the narrative), and there is a couple paragraphs referencing dribbling. If you are a soccer fan, don't seek soccer here. If you are a fairy/goblin conflict fan, you know what you'll get.

As expected, the second book in the series had a bit more action. It starts with a silly scene, and it has more involvement with the goblins than usual (they're around in a significant way for a few chapters rather than discovered toward the end). Our family enjoyed it--the goblins' chant was fun, the magical item was logical, and there was a lot of humor from the incompetent goblins. The ending felt abrupt, but the book was enjoyable overall.

Even though I’m not a sporty person, I still found this book interesting. It might have changed the way I viewed sports when I was younger if these books were around back then.

This is the second book of seven in the Sports 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 will often read several in one day! This series has a sports theme and I like that it encourages girls to be active and try new sports.
I have read so many of these books that I must admit I've become immune to their silliness. I love that I can read them after she does and discuss the plots and her thoughts about the story and about what will happen next in the series. We will certainly read more of these books as long as they are still being written. I will always be thankful that this is one series that helped her to develop a love for reading.
May 2012 update: our youngest is now immersing herself in this series and is reading them very quickly, too. As inane as I thought they were, I love that this series is making readers of our girls. Hooray!

Rachel and Kristy are going to a soccer game between Tippington and Compton. Rachel and Kristy go and explore around the stadium. They find Stacey the Soccer Fairy. She's missing her magic soccer ball. It makes sure that soccer is fun and no one has trouble doing it. Rachel and Kristy find a goblin dressed in one of the ball boy costumes. The official goes to the goblin and says that he is supposed to be in the room listening to the meeting for all the ball boys and girls. Rachel and Kristy want to go in too so Stacey turns their clothes into ball girl clothes. They follow the goblin out of the room and then go back to watch the soccer game and see if people can do it. After they go and look around some more and they find a group of goblins on the bus, the one in the front has the magical soccer ball. Rachel and Kristy fly in after they're turned into fairies with Stacey's magic. Rachel and Kristy distract the goblin while Stacey grabs the ball. It's rolling up and down the bus aisle. When she grabs it, it immediately turns to fairy size and she flies away with it.

I want to be kind to this book. Because it's a book for whom I am not the intended audience. I read it to my daughter who is five. But I did read it, and the story, my friends, it was not good.
Quite often, you'll find, even in stories intended for younger audiences, a bit of storytelling that reveals things, that has characters you want to root for. This book is nothing like that. It is very strongly "and then this happened, and then this happened, and then this happened, and they saved the day." In fact, I think that the only reason these books have sold at all is because they have fairies on the covers.
I'm thinking I'll get my daughter, who is really into drawing fairies, to make some super-colourful cover art, and I'll write some fairy stories, and she and I can make a bundle on the not-so-discerning readership.
Ah well, on to the next in the series, I guess.

I thought it was funny how the goblin pretended he was a ball player and he put on half the clothes for one team and the other half for the other team. And also I thought it was funny that he was looking for the magic soccer ball so he hid all the soccer balls and then when the coach saw him with them, the coach got mad at the goblin for hiding them.

I really loved the idea of this book when I was reading the cover before I read the whole book. I had an immediate connection because I'm an avid soccer fan and player and I love fantasy, so I thought it was hilarious that someone wrote a book about Jack Frost trying to sabotage the sports fairies' soccer game. Loved this!
