So this is what you a waiting for *drum roll* little summary about this book. I hoped that you interested with one of them  ;)

§ Bras and Broomsticks

What if all your wishes could come true? Blink your eyes, drink a fizzing pink potion, and poof! Life is perfect. That’s Rachel’s situation. Except she’s 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 she’s being electrocuted, winning back her best friend, stopping her dad’s wedding, and finding a date for Spring Fling

Living in New York City with her mother and her younger sister, Miri, fourteen-year-old Rachel tries to persuade Miri, who has recently become a witch, to help her become popular at school and to try to stop their divorced father's wedding.

Rachel’s not bewitched. Yet. . . .

¨ Frogs and French Kisses

Rachel has finally come to terms with the outrageously unfair fact that her younger sister, Miri, has inherited magical powers from their mom. But now the whole witchcraft thing is spiraling out of control. Mom is a magicaholic, Miri’s on a Save the World kick, and the one teeny tiny love spell that Rachel begged for has gone embarrassingly, horribly wrong.

Suddenly, the fate of everything is in Rachel’s hands.

Her family.

The world.

Senior prom.

ª  Spells and Sleeping Bags

At long last, Rachel's powers have arrived and she's a bona fide get-your-broom-ready witch! And it's happened just in time. No Manhattan for her this summer—she's spending her vacation at Camp Wood Lake.


But she's having some serious issues:
  Mosquitoes in the Adirondacks are incredibly thirsty. her stepmom keeps sending embarrassing feminime hygiene care packages. she accidentally zapped away her clothes. And there's a backstabber in her cabin intent on making life miserable.

Good thing Rachel's a witch

Perfect hair, cute clothes, healthy tans—lige's a breeze when you're a witch! Even special witchcraft classes Rachel agrees to attend with Miri turn out to be fun. The sisters meet other teen witches just like them—who knew? Everyone's preparing for magical party called a Samsorta—a debutante ball for witches. and it wouldnt be a ball without warlocks. Cute ones. Like Adam, who wants to slow dance with Rachel, and ski with her in the Rockies —on a school night! Of course, Rachel is madly in love with her boyfriend, Raf. So why can't she bring herself to tell Adam—funny, charming Adam—that Raf exists?

—Rachel knows Raf likes her. maybe even, gulp, loves her. but Raf doesnt know her secret. Unlike adam, Raf doesnt know who she really is. And she can never tell him. Or can she?
