Book Review:
''Alice the Tennis Fairy'' is a delightful addition to the beloved Rainbow Magic series, perfect for young readers who love magic, sports, and adventure. This book is part of The Sporty Fairies sub-series and will especially appeal to children who enjoy tennis or are learning to play.

Rachel and Kirsty continue to be wonderful heroines - brave, kind, and always ready to help their fairy friends. In this adventure, they must help Alice retrieve her missing Magic Racquet from the mischievous goblins. The story is simple but engaging, with just the right amount of tension to keep young readers interested.

The Rainbow Magic series is known for its accessible writing style, short chapters, and beautiful illustrations, making it ideal for children who are transitioning from picture books to chapter books. The vocabulary is appropriate for the target age group (5+), and the story moves at a good pace.

What makes this book special is how it combines a love of sport with magical adventure. Alice's character is charming, and the tennis theme adds an element of fun for active children. The goblins provide comic relief while still being suitably mischievous.

This book is also a great choice for parents and children to read together, with plenty of opportunities for discussion about sportsmanship, friendship, and helping others.

Highly recommended for young Rainbow Magic fans, tennis enthusiasts, and any child who loves a good magical adventure!
