Bras and Broomsticks
By:Sarah Mlynowski

This book is about a teenage girl named Rachel. Rachel is your average teenage....nerd. Until she finds out that her sister is witch, then everything changes. She has her sister put all kinds of spells on her, like to make her a better dancer, have clear skin, and to make her soon to be step mother ugly. With her new dancing skills, she tries out for the fashion show. All the popular/A-list girls and boys are in the fashion show. So when Rachel joins, its like she is a completely different person. Everything is going her way, she is invited to parties and she is asked to the spring fling by Raf, who she has had a crush on forever. Her life Is perfect until….well you have to read it to find out.

My favorite character in this book is Tammy. She is Rachel’s best friend from the start. She is forgiving, understanding, and just fun to be around.
I really liked this book. I would defiantly recommend it. It is funny, sad, fictional, but it seems as though it were true.

The first thing that comes to Rachel’s mind when she finds out that her sister is a witch is this, “If I could cast a spell, the first thing I’d create would be seven day weekends! And school? So yesterday. Knowledge would be downloaded into our brains. But…Where would we meet boys?” I like this passage because it sounds so real, if I found out that me or my sister was a witch, I would be trying to think of a ton of things that I could do to make my live way more fun, and easier.

One thing that I really liked about this book is that it seemed so real. All the problems she has anyone could really have, like having your dad remarry or being a nerd or even small things like being excited about something and you could almost see how excited she was in some parts. I think that the author did a very good job writing this book.
