The goblins causing problems in the bouncy castle
Back at the funfair, Kirsty and Rachel are having fun on the rides while awaiting the acrobatics auditions for the upcoming Variety Show. Talking about the Showtime Fairies and Jack Frost’s latest scheme, they decide to go straight to the audition tent now in case there are goblins there. Next to the tent is a bouncy castle and Kirsty notices three goblins in green sparkly leotards pushing their way to the front of the line and tracking mud into the castle (it had been raining earlier and the ground is still wet.) The girls watch the goblins bounce around doing tricks and conclude that they must have lost the magic acrobatics star, since they’re not performing very well. Following the goblins after they leave the bouncy castle, the girls find three of Rachel's classmates who have just had a terrible time practicing their acrobatics audition. All five enter the large circus tent and Rachel and Kirsty go find Mrs Evans, the woman in charge, for directions as they’ve offered to help with special effects. She shows them a net full of silver glitters that will shower over the performers when a rope is pulled.
The goblins do the amazing performance
Once Mrs Evans has gone, Alesha the Acrobat Fairy emerges from the net. The girls tell her about the three goblins and that they’ve lost her star and after thinking aloud a bit they decide to follow the goblins’ muddy footprints to find where they might have left it. Alesha turns the girls into fairies and they search several game booths, but the trail leads back to the tent where the goblins are now acting a lot more confident. Turned human again by Alesha, the girls hurry to their positions as auditions begin. “Icy Towers” school is the first drawn from a hat. The goblins perform so well that Kirsty realises they must have found the star. Alesha is the first to spot it at the end of a long ribbon that one goblin is twirling, then all three see the star go flying off the end of the ribbon and land in the safety net below the trapezes and high wire.
The girls, Alesha and the goblins trying to catch Alesha's star
The goblins abandon their act and climb into the net after it, but the net keeps bouncing the star up and down when they move. Thinking fast, Kirsty pulls the rope to drop the glitter on the goblins, then asks Alesha turn her and Rachel back into fairies so the three can fly down to the net camouflaged among the silver sparkles. It’s hard for anyone in the net to see where the star is, with all the glitter around, but the girls and Alesha are able to get it before the goblins do. Alesha shrinks the star to Fairyland size and attaches it to her wand once they’re away from the net, where the goblins have gotten distracted and are now bouncing around as if they’re on a trampoline.
Josie, Maya and Dylan perform
The Tippington School performers are announced by a judge and Alesha refills the glitter net with her magic before she leaves for Fairyland. Rachel’s classmates perform beautifully and when the girls pull the rope on cue, a rainbow of sparkles showers down.
Trivia[]
- She carries a long, pink ribbon throughout the book, as ribbons are usually used in rhythmic gymnastics.
