Bras and Broomsticks
The name of the book I chose for my book report is Bras and Broomsticks. It is a fiction book. The author is Sarah Milnowski. The setting of the story is modern day New York City, New York. There are also small parts of the story that take place in Long Island, New York. Rachel is a fourteen-year-old girl who wants to be on the popular A-List at school, doesn't want her divorced father to get remarried, wants to be in the school fashion show, and wants a boyfriend. She has a crush on two boys named Raf and Mick. Miri is Rachel's younger sister who finds out that she is a witch. Together she and Rachel try to use her magic to help them. Jennifer is their dad's fiancée, who they refer to as STB (soon to be stepmother). Both girls do not like her throughout the book, but in the end they learn to accept her. STB has a daughter named Prissy. Jewel was Rachel's best friend since they were very young. Now that is in the fashion show and was accepted into the A-List, she thinks she is too good for Rachel. Tammy became Rachel's friend when Jewel dumped Rachel. Tammy remains a good friend to Rachel through everything that happens in this book and Rachel doesn't realize it until the end. In the beginning, Rachel is leaving school to go hang out with friends when she realizes there are a pair of really expensive shoes that she wanted on her feet.

Rachel thinks this is a good thing and that Miri will help her to become popular at school. She is jealous too because she didn't get the powers herself. Her mom tells her that she is a witch too, but she chose not to use her powers. Their mom gives Miri a book full of spells. Miri is not supposed to use her magic until her mom teaches her how, but Rachel doesnt care about that. The first thing Rachel and Miri try to do is make their dad realize how
