In this highly anticipated sequel to Frogs and Kisses, Sarah Mlynowski entertains readers and once again demonstrates a keen understanding of teenage issues. In Vacation and Charms, Rachel's powers finally awaken, and she officially becomes a witch, complete with a broomstick! And it couldn't have come at a better time: this summer is looking promising... No Manhattan this season! Rachel is spending the summer at camp with her younger sister, Miri, and her big crush, Raf. But campfires, swimming lessons, and strolls under the enchanting starry sky will have to wait. The newest witch on the block has her own problems to solve. For starters, the camp mosquitoes have an insatiable thirst and are constantly chasing Rachel. Plus, the girls' stepmother keeps sending them incredibly embarrassing gifts: depilatory cream, feminine hygiene soaps, sanitary pads... As if that weren't enough, Rachel's spells are still a bit out of control, and she gets into a lot of mischief, even vanishing all the clothes she brought to camp! Miri, more experienced with spells than Rachel, does everything she can to help her control her magic. But Liana, Rachel's nosy roommate, is determined to disrupt all her plans, making the little witch's life hell. Will Rachel's newest enemy be able to ruin her vacation?
