Publisher Description

Everyone needs a little magic. Especially 14-year-old Rachel. Not only did her younger sister, Miri, inherit her mother's ample bosom (so not fair), it turns out that her little sis is also a witch! Of course, there's a chance that Rachel is a witch too--maybe her powers just haven't kicked in yet. If only they would . . . in the meantime she's got to suffer being a B-lister with a crush on an A-list guy, watch her best friend and social schemer Rosie desert her, and be an unwilling participant in her hapless father's remarriage to STBSM (soon-to-be-stepmonster). Retch.

Samantha Stevens? Sabrina? Anyone in Salem home? Rachel Weinstein needs your help!

    " This was a fun read. I liked that the main character wasn't the one that was the witch. It had a great lesson about how being self centered teenager can come back to bite you in the end. Funny and a quirky. "

    " I loved this book especially because the setting of the book took place in new york. I loved the plot of the story because if there was not a twist of her sister and her mom being a witch it would be a typical, boring story line. But because Miri (Rachel's younger witch sister) got her magical witch powers, Rachel uses it to try to change her WHOLE life around but all of it eventually backfires her. And it would bring in a teenagers worst nightmare; a big fat zit on your nose! DUN DUN DUN! :) "

    " Bras and Broomsticks was VERY funny. I think it has made me laugh in public places as i read it. It reminds me alot of the show Bewitched but with a teenage girl. It's great entretainment, but i couldnt find much meaning to it. I'd recommend this to girls....cuz it could frighten other people. :D "
