"What's the weather like today, Kirsty?" asked Rachel Walker eagerly. She pushed back her bedspread. "Do you think there's magic in the air?" Kirsty Tate was standing at the bedroom window, staring out over the garden. "It seems like a normal day." She sighed, with a disappointed look on her face. "The sky's gray and cloudy." "Never mind." Rachel jumped out of bed and went to join her friend. "Remember what Titania, the Fairy Queen, told us. Don't look too hard for magic—" "Because the magic will find you!" Kirsty finished with a smile.

Rachel and Kirsty shared a very special secret. They were friends with fairies! When Jack Frost had put a spell on the seven Rainbow Fairies and banished them to Rainspell Island, Rachel and Kirsty helped them return to Fairyland. Now Jack Frost was up to no good again— this time with the Weather Fairies. And once again, the Fairy King and Queen had asked Rachel and Kirsty for help. "Look at Doodle." Rachel pointed at the weather-vane rooster, which sat on top of the old barn. "Don't you think he looks a little happier, now that he has two of his tail feathers back?"

Kirsty nodded. "Let's hope we find all of his feathers before you go home," she replied. "Then the weather in Fairyland can get back to normal again!" Doodle the rooster had a very important job. With his seven magic tail feathers and the help of the Weather Fairies, Doodle controlled Fairyland's weather. But then Jack Frost sent his mean goblin servants to steal Doodle's feathers. Doodle chased the goblins into the human world— but without his magic, and away from Fairyland, he changed into an ordinary, rusty weather vane! Kirsty's dad had found the weather vane lying in the park, and brought it home to put on the roof of the barn. He had no idea what a magical creature Doodle really was! Now the weather in Fairyland was a big mess— and it would be a mess until Rachel and Kirsty got all of Doodle's feathers back and sent him home. "Well, we're off to a good start," said Rachel. "With the help of Crystal the Snow Fairy and Abigail the Breeze Fairy, we've already found two feathers!"

The King and Queen had promised Kirsty and Rachel that each of the Weather Fairies would come to help them find the feathers. "Girls, are you awake?" Kirsty's mom called from downstairs. "Breakfast's ready." "Coming!" Kirsty shouted back. "I wish we knew what Doodle was trying to tell us yesterday," said Rachel, as she and Kirsty ran downstairs. Each time one of Doodle's tail feathers had been replaced, the rooster had come to life. The first time, he squawked "Beware!" The second time, he managed to say the word "Jack," before turning to metal again.

"I'm sure it was something about Jack Frost," Kirsty said thoughtfully. "But what?" "Maybe he'll tell us if we find another feather!" Rachel suggested. The girls went into the kitchen. Mr. Tate was setting the table, and Kirsty's mom was making toast. "Morning, you two," said Mr. Tate with a smile, as the girls sat down. "What are you planning to do today?" Before Kirsty or Rachel could answer him, there was a knock at the back door." I wonder who that could be!" Mrs. Tate said, raising her eyebrows. "It's still pretty early."
