yes, of course world peace and cures for horrible diseases are
important. But so is dancing without looking like she’s being
electrocuted, winning back her best friend, stopping her dad’s wedding,
and finding a date for Spring Fling.
Rachel’s not bewitched. Yet. . . .
Review:
This was a pretty good book. It follows a selfish teen named Rachel who finds out her sister is a witch and exploits her magic. Along the way of going from a total loser to miss popular Rachel and her sister attempt to break up her dad's wedding. I think some of the younger preteens and middle teens will love this. It deals with the things that kids have to deal with everyday in real life and especially since it's funny. I did have a problem with the ending though, it was a major cliffhanger. There was all of this drama in the story and only one major thing was resolved, with almost everything else just hanging there. But hey that's just me.
