So far, the best of the series. One more to go.

Rachel Weinstein has powers! Finally! And she's growing boobs! Err, a boob. Whatever. She's finally catching up to her younger sister. (How bazzackwards does that sound?)In this third installment of the Magin in Manhattan series, Rachel and Miri are sent to Camp Wood Lake for the summer. While Rachel is making friends with all the girls that share her bunk, Miri is having trouble fitting in. Rachel is desperately seeking the attention of Raf, but every time they're justabouttokiss something dram...

I liked this book because it has comedy and i like books and novels that has something funny and creative like the series of Spells & Sleeping Bags!

This series is just so cute.

Third book in the Bras and Broomsticks series. Rachel is now a witch in her own right, and she and younger sister Miri are headed off to summer camp where Rachel hopes to attract the attention of a certain cute classmate. She does, but she also has major problems with a cousin she never knew she had. This cousin, also a witch, has decided that she likes Rachel's fairly normal teen life better than her own, and she wants to switch bodies with Rachel. Read the book to see what happens.

This is the third book (but hopefully not the last) in the trilogy. Rachel has finally received her magic and is a full-time witch too!! Rachel's and Miri's parents have sent them to camp for the summer which is great because she'll be around Raf for the whole summer! Once she gets to camp, Rachel makes new friends with her bunk-mates and everything is going great (esp. with Raf!!) Miri, however, isn't so lucky and remains an outcast with the girls in her cabin. However, things start to go wrong...

I LOVE books set at summer camps. This was just as fun as I remember the first two books in this series being when I read them as a teen.

This was an overall good book, in my opinion. There were some parts I didn't like, but overall it was a good book. There was a lot of things happening, like drama-wise, and the author did a good job putting it altogether. Some parts of the story I liked, and some parts I didn't like. For example, that time when Miri hated her sister because she felt like no one liked her anymore, and it was her sister's fault. Or the time when Rachel's enemy kissed her so-called "boyfreind", right in front of he...

I laughed more in this one (especially at the beginning). And I was glad there was less mindless whining from Rachel. On the other hand, I was really annoyed that she didn't figure things out more quickly, and didn't do something about it when she could have. So, mixed feelings on this one.

I really want to read this book, but i am only guessing what i can give it. If you really want to my friend is reading it, you can try her.

Yasssssss....Honestly I thought I was going to hate this book; mostly because i hate fantasy; so a middle grade witch story sounded awful.And it was; at first.The more you got in to the story the more unique it became. Yes there were definatley issues with it; but every book has issues right?I saw the plot twist coming; but that still made me wide eyed. And then more and more pllot twists started coming and the things I was worried about in the beginning were forgotten within the middle of the b...

This series is just ADORABLE! I think I said that with each of the reviews of the other two books, didn't I?So, starting with the plot. Rachel has discovered that she too is a witch. She FINALLY has her own magical powers, except she's really not so good at it yet. Her spells are a mess and they always backfire -- but at least the ability is there! She knows that she can zap up a new outfit, a love spell, or maybe even a bit of invisibility if the need arises.Well, now Rachel and her sister Miri...

I had a very high expectation for this one that the last one set up for me. This book didn't fail to get there and beyond. Recently I have stopped just handing out five stars to books I enjoyed but I reconsidered and this is one of my first ones in a long time. Along with the first and second one, and I am sure the third one. I am not embarrassed to admit that this book made me laugh about every two pages and sometimes I just COULDN'T stop. PARENT NOTE: This is Sweet Romance. This means that it

REVIEW: Spells & Sleeping Bags (Magic in Manhattan, #3)RATING: 3/5This book was my favorite in the series growing up, and I can definitely see why as I'm rereading it as an adult! I said this when I read Maureen Johnson's latest Truly, Devious book, but novels set at camps, boarding schools, etc. work so well because everyone is trapped in one spot, nearly ensuring character development in the process. Speaking of characters, Rachel still remains a fairly unlikeable protagonist; a lot of her dia...

this g=book was "interesting." but it had a good plot...

This book was infuriating. Miri was super annoying during book 2, but she started this book off with some funny burns toward Rachel which made me think maybe she would be better in this book. Ha. No. She wasn’t.Miri. Oh Miri Miri Miri. So dumb. And it was annoying how it seemed like she didn’t even learn anything from the last book. She’s still all about saving the world and whatnot and being a dumbass. And she talked about poofing up money to help her help people, which is extremely illogical b...

I think 3.5.... this series is growing on me quite a bit.

I really enjoyed the setting of this one. The camp was so much fun, and as I'm from a rural area in Canada, about as different from New York City as possible, I understood this setting a lot more than the street names referenced in the first two books. In addition to the wonderful campsite, the magic of this world was developed further, and we learned more about the hidden world of magic, and how it's bigger than we'd previously thought.While I understood (eventually) why things went the way the...

Rachel and her sister, Mir, will be spending their summer at Camp Wood Lake. Everything sails peacefully in the beginning, Rachel makes new friends,gets into a relationship with Raf and is having the best time of her life. That is until little by little, obstacles starts flying her way-literally. Liana, Rachel's cousin, is out to get her. She gets all of Rachel's previous friends to back-stab her, steals her boyfriend and sister away from her Liana also blackmails Rachel, forcing them to switch

These books just keep getting better and better. I really love the character of Rachel, perhaps because I can relate to her so much. Not that I am a witch or have a younger sister or divorced parents, but her struggle to find her place amognst other teenagers, dealing with the trials of high school (and in this book, camp) and attempting to come out the other side somewhat unscathed and with some friends. Having to deal with people out to get you is a fact of life but it may be the most vicious
