Bras & Broomsticks (Magic in Manhattan #1)

Reader reviewed by Megan

What if all your wishes could come true? Blink your eyes, drink a fizzing pink potion, and poof! Life is perfect. Thats Rachels situation. Except shes not the one who suddenly has magical powers. Her younger sister is. And as Rachel would tell you, spellbooks are wasted on the young!

Yes, yes, of course world peace and cures for horrible diseases are important. But so is dancing without looking like shes being electrocuted, winning back her best friend, stopping her dads wedding, and finding a date for Spring Fling.

Rachels not bewitched. Yet. . . .

I loved this book, I loved the characters and how differnt and interesting thay all are. I loved the plot and how all the funny spells and things that happen. I loved how Rachel acted and how she wanted to dance to get Raf. I would totally reccomend this book.

This was a hilarious book about Rachel and her sister Miri. Miri found out that she was a witch just like her mother and Rachel is quite jealous because Rachel knows she would put her magical skills into better use if she were in Miri's shoes. For example, Rachel has a long list of situations she would change if she had powers: she would make her crush fall in love with her, she would make her ex-best friend like her again, she would use magic to make herself popular, she would call off her father's next wedding, and she would try to get into her high school's fashion show. All these things could be achieved by a simple spell-a spell that makes Rachel the best dancer ever. Rachel persuades Miri into casting the spell on her and everything seems perfect until the fashion show.

who doesn't love a witchcraft story sets in modern days?especially when it's told it a funny way. but i love the fact that rachel isn't the one with the magic power. that's a great twist, making this one not a typical story.

Put yourself in Rachel's shoes: Freshman year. That is enough to make any girl shudder (believe me I do it daily, and I won't be a fish for another month) but then she finds out that her sister AND mom are WITCHES! Plus her little sister won't even use her magic to help her poor big sister out with the whole I-wanna-be-popular-and-not-a-loser thing!! But Rachel finds a way to make her sister use her magic: on their unsuspecting soon to be step monster! I mean, what better way to use magic than to stop your dad from marrying an evil witch (no pun intended)?!!
This book rocks, and every girl can totally understand Rachel and Miri, witch or no witch!
