In this highly anticipated sequel to Charms and Bras, Sarah Mlynowski shows why this series is a contender for Meg Cabot's crown. In Frogs and Kisses, Rachel finally managed to overcome the fact that her younger sister, Miri, inherited their mother's magical powers. But now the witchcraft is spiraling out of control... When all Rachel wanted was a simple love spell to win back her almost-ex-boyfriend Raf, Miri decides she's going to save the world. The starting point is to get the cows at a slaughterhouse in the interior of the state to safety. What neither of them could have imagined was that the cows would end up in Rachel's schoolyard, destroying the facilities and causing enormous damage. Miri also has on her list saving whales from an oil spill in France, providing food and clothing to those in need in Africa, saving animals trapped in a circus... On top of all that, the girls' mother has decided it's time to start dating again, and during a particularly boring date, she uses a little spell to read her suitor's thoughts and facilitate conversation. And from then on, she hasn't stopped using magic—to dye her hair roots, to lengthen her nails, to turn off the lights, and even to take a shower! To make matters worse, the love spell doesn't work; or rather, it does, but on the wrong person. And, while dreaming of winning Raf back, Rachel has to deal with a new boyfriend who loves her madly and is a great kisser. Is he bewitched? Of course, that's the least of it. Considering she has to control her mother and sister, Rachel suddenly becomes the most reasonable person in the house.
