I read this with my 7-year-old daughter who loved it. Anyone who has read any of the rainbow fairy books before will know why. They are designed perfectly for her age group. Each story features best friends Kirsty and Rachel having to help a fairy friend from Fairyland in their perpetual battle with Jack Frost and the goblins. This one is no different.
This story is about one of the sporty fairies, Naomi the netball fairy (or Brittany the basketball fairy in some markets), and, just like the other sporty fairies, she can't find her missing magic sporty object. This means that until her object, in this case a magic netball, can be found and re-united with her, netball in the human and fairy world will not be fun and exciting or played fairly anymore.
Naturally it is Jack Frost who stole the netball to use the magic so that his goblins could win in the Fairyland Olympics so he has asked them to hide the netball in the human world. It falls upon Kirsty and Rachel to help Naomi get it back.
Also along the way there are a multitude of clear and simple pictures to bring the text alive, and the story is written in big text too ideal for early readers.
As for my daughter she loved the story but also the opening poem. The only criticism I have of it is that if you read a lot of these rainbow fairy books the plots are rather similar with the girls having to recover a lost item for a fairy from Jack Frost and the goblins in each book, but my daughter doesn't mind.
Overall a typical rainbow fairy story that little girls will love.
