"We must think of something to help Sky! Oh, I know! Let's ask Bertram for his advice!" Rescuing Sky also involved getting some help from some friendly crabs, but I was bothered because the crabs really didn't do anything that the girls couldn't have done themselves.įinally, when the other Rainbow Fairies see that Sky is weak and needs help, instead of putting their heads together to figure out a way to help Sky themselves, Ruby the Red Fairy says: Kirsty: "I know! Why don't we look in our magic bags?" Rachel: "Poor Sky! We have to rescue her! But how can we melt all that ice?" Rachel and Kirsty spent all of no time trying to come up with a way to rescue Sky by themselves, which was all the more disappointing because they did manage to melt ice to rescue Fern. When the girls find Sky the Blue Fairy, she is trapped in ice that was created by the close proximity of Jack Frost's goblins. In this book, there were just too many instances of the girls and the fairies not stepping up to challenges. After Isabelle gets over this fairy phase, I think I should look for some books with more empowered girls in it.
