Product Description
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 feminine hygiene care packages.
She accidentally zapped away all her clothes.
And there's a backstabber in her cabin intent on making life miserable.
Good thing Rachel's a witch.

These are the funniest books but with a depth that makes them memorable. Plus, oh my goodness, the pacing! Non-stop drama. I can't wait for PARTIES & POTIONS!

Before you read about Rachel's magical summer camp experience, make sure that you read the two books leading up to it. In Bras and Broomsticks, Rachel learned that her mother and her little sister Miri were witches - and she was not. In Frogs and French Kisses, she continued to watch her mom and sis magically bond while she remained powerless - until the very end of the book.
Now, finally, Rachel's got her own magic. She knows she should learn more about it before going crazy with it, and she knows she should use it sparingly, but it's all so tempting. When something witchy this way comes in the form of another camper, all bets are off.
In her previous Magic in Manhattan books, Sarah Mlynowski blended together the humor and magic of Bewitched and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. With Spells and Sleeping Bags, she adds a bit of The Parent Trap to the mix, complete with summer camp pranks and twists of relativity. Bring your sunscreen and your sense of humor.
 WATCH OUT -- Lots more PROFANITY than last two in series March 3, 2008

My middle school-age daughter has loved the previous books in this series. But today she informed that she won't be finishing Spells & Sleeping Bags because of the language the author has chosen to use for this book; dirty old man "porn terms," lots of "D" words and several other foul words. Perhaps this doesn't concern some parents -- but it should. I was dismayed by the review from a mother that said she and her daughter had enjoyed reading it together....WHATHE!? She must be trying to be one of those "cool mom's." Definitely would avoid if you're trying to keep your girl out of the Brittney Spears world.

I purchased this book for my 11 year old niece that had read the two previous books. She read this book in 4 days - while we were on an action packed ski vacation.
