BR 2-02: Brittany the Basketball Fairy

“I’d like to find Brittany the Basketball Fairy’s magic basketball.” (p.1) 

When I went to the library at KGU and looked bookshelves, colorful books attracted my attention. It was the series of Rainbow Magic books. The stories were about many kinds of fairies, for example, weather fairies, music fairies, sports fairies, and so on. And more, all of the book covers were very cute. I picked the book about the basketball fairy because I like basketball very much.

The story began with Rachel Walker’s question. She asked Kirsty Tate, who is Rachel’s best friend, what we should do after lunch. They shared a very special secret that they had become friends with the fairies. However, the fairies had a problem that the sports fairies’ seven magic objects had been stolen by Jack Frost and his goblins. One of them is a magic basketball. Rachel and Kirsty intended to find it. They went to the rec center, and they met Abby, who is Rachel’s friend. She was participating in basketball game, but she worried her team challenged to next game with the very strong team. The team was a group of goblins. Rachel and Kirsty joined next game because they were invited by Abby. They understood goblins used a magic basketball. They thought it was unfair to use it to win the game, so they carried out a plan to get it back to the basketball fairy in the second half of the story. If you know the continuation of the story, please read this book! I felt it was fun after reading. I also wanted to read other books of the series.
