Summary: Rachel and Kirsty are two best friends with a special secret-they’re friends with the fairies! But they also have an important and not so special secret-they know Jack Frost and his Goblins have been up to a lot of mischief lately ruining parties. When Mr. Cooper, Kirsty’s neighbors asks them over to help with his son’s birthday party, they have no doubt that the Goblins will surely be there to ruin some of the fun. Together with their friend Grace the Glitter Fairy they devise a plan to ensure the Goblins don’t ruin the party. With their wise plan and thoughtfully organized trick they save the party from becoming a disaster.
Implementation: When teaching science fiction, many girls hate to read about the topics portrayed. This gives them a magical girlie story they can get lost in. Though they are short and easy to read books, they do have many tough vocabulary words and adult like sayings. To teach these words and decode these sayings, the ability to use context clues comes into play. Words such as: grateful, managed, swiftly, hem, fluttering, desperate and thrilled. Sayings such as: the French Doors, “flat as a pancake,” “racked their brains,” and “serves you right” can offer fun lessons for students to learn and come up with their own sayings in their writing.
